The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f4.0-5.6 R ($199.99 direct) is one of the less expensive lenses you can attach to your Micro Four Thirds camera. It's designed to complement the entry-level M.Zuiko 14-42mm zoom that ships with Olympus PEN bodies like the E-PL5 .

I bought an Olympus OM D 5 on eBay at a very good price,but I needed to extend the cameras versatility, so I invested in the 40-150mm Zoom lens. Both the standard and above lens will satisfy most of my photographic work over the coming years.

This is my first Olympus lens, moving from Nikon to M4/3 format. I have many Nikon lenses and have been shooting Nikon for years, I was not expecting much from this little lens at first. But I was very pleased with the results from this lens. It focuses fast, very sharp.

Besides the cons above, it is still a good light camera that can be used for both still images and HD videos. adding a lens COST a LOT !

- light weight - takes good quality images - takes good HD videos - it has lots of features and interchangeable lens; - nicely built and good looking - good battery life I took lots of still images and took several HD videos and the still images are VERY NICE and VERY CLEAR.

- auto-focus is not that good - need additional lens like 150mm (for zooming) - it doesn't have a grip on the front side like other cameras

I haven't had many opportunities to use this lens yet. When I have used it I have been very happy with the image quality and the weight of the lens.

"Ever since I moved to Micro Four Thirds, I was missing my Sony 55-200mm, but never really looked into similar alternatives - was too focused on primes. This Fall, I'm in a new city, and felt the need for a flexible telephoto lens - luckily for me, I found the Oly 40-150mm at an awesome sale!

Got the best deal. I was looking for this lens for more than 6 months.

For the price you can't go wrong with the micro 4/3 zoom lens.

Clear lens; good build quality. Amazing price

Not as sharp as something you would pay 5x more for

The image quality of this lens is quite good and very sharp. It focuses easily, and produces good color. It's lightweight, making it very easy to carry around. I've used it to make some beautiful portraits. As a $99 add-on, it was an incredible value.
