Pros:Excellent quality construction - Excellent photographic yield - Lightness and compactness considering that it is like an 80-300mm f/4 in full frame
Cons:It is not duplicable
Opinion:High quality professional lens with excellent construction. Light and ergonomic the 40-150 f / 4, in my opinion, today is the best compact zoom on the market that reaches the focal length of 300mm f / 4 (compared to full frame). If combined with the latest OM-1 the photographic yield is excellent and if used freehand with the High Res Shot (50mpx) computation mode adding the 2x digital teleconverter of the OM-1, we get a 600mm f / 4 that gives splendid "macro" on static subjects. When used as a zoom handyman, the weight is not excessive, allows us to wear it around the neck during walks. Personally tried during my mountain hikes, I had no problem wearing it around my neck for a few hours during the hiking outing. Very compact fits perfectly in a handbag, mounted on an m4/3 camera. If compared to its brother f/2.8 (heavier and older), the results with the 40-150 f/4 are surprising and sometimes better and we can consider it a worthy replacement for the f/2.8 (which I did). Compared to the "old" M.Zuiko 40-150 f/2.8, the new M.Zuiko 40-150 f/4 is a native OM Digital Solution project and is marked OM System. Unfortunately the 40-150 f / 4 is not duplicable, perhaps an extra effort the engineers of OM Digital Solution could do it by making it compatible with 1.4x and 2x telenconverters. However, even with this limitation, the optics are superb and worth the money spent.
Opinion:Alongside my 12-40 f2.8, with two lenses I have everything I need for street photography/travel. Of course, it does not equal the brother f2.8, but at the moment I do not see it as a defect, indeed, blurred excellent without risk of out-of-focus on the second field. Weight and dimensions like the 12-40 mentioned, as well as the filter diameter, excellent for slimming the kit. Price could have been lower, compared to 2.8, but it is a relatively recent lens. Defects? I do not like the need for unlocking for use, but this allows you to gain in compactness. Two lenses of this level, and two omd bodies, in the space of a traditional SLR. If these are not M43 spells..
Opinion:probably a comparative technical test between this PRO F4 and the PRO F2.8 could highlight some differences, but in normal use, in the field, for an amateur photographer, even evolved, the results are practically indistinguishable, with a point in favor linked to greater handling and ergonomics. I use it with the M1 and they seem to be made for each other.
