Pros:Negligible weight and size, image quality. Ridiculous price
Cons:It's not a Pro like its big brother F2.8
Opinion:The 40-150 F4 is an extraordinary lens that I recommend to all enthusiasts who use the micro 4/3 system, as long as they do not habitually practice sports and nature photography, areas in which the 40-150 F2.8 is definitely more suitable. There is nothing comparable on the market that has the same focal range, brightness, lightness and cost. The new Tamron 50-300 for FF is one of the lightest and cheapest, weighing and bulking twice as much. the last 70-200 F4s weigh more than twice as much and cost three times as much ... The pictures he churns out are very nice, just look at the photos below.. Clearly you can't expect a blur and a detachment of the planes to scream, and its fields of use are different. It is very suitable for landscape, street, travel and excursions. Personally, however, I use it very little, as I often like to practice nature and sports photography and I want to take home the highest possible quality from the system, in terms of files and ergonomics. In fact, this 40-150 being a project that focuses everything on very small weights and dimensions, by force of circumstances (miracles are not yet made) "unfortunately" must give way to some compromise. The construction, although valuable, is not the rocky one of the "real" Pro series (40-150 F2.8 / 12-100 F4), and does not withstand the full power of the OM1 not being able to shoot at either 25 or 50 fps. In addition, the effectiveness of stabilization and autofocus are not at the levels of its big brother F2.8, compared to which it also has a slightly more accentuated focus breathing. The sharpness instead is the same, excellent, but obviously with a disadvantageous aperture. To avoid misunderstandings, and above all because the many amateurs would not understand, it is necessary to point out that all the small weaknesses that I have listed above emerge only if a very dynamic photograph is practiced at a professional or naturalistic level in critical environmental and light conditions. Finally, I find that the non-compatibility with extenders is not a problem at all, the lens is in fact so small and light that a possible TC would totally compromise its simplicity and pleasure of use.
Opinion:Premise, I wanted to buy out of curiosity is the low cost of 40/150 mm f4 -5.6, once purchased used that lens, I fell in love with the lens, so I put in the photographic backpack my 15/45 f.4 pro, almost forgetting about him, to use it I had to force myself to do it, because, focal lengths used from 35 to 40. So I started to inquire about the 40/150 mm f.4 pro, after reading various reviews and some videos of that lens, I decided to buy it. found an opportunity I gave myself the 40/150 mm F4 pro, and I was immediately enchanted by the high quality of the images it returns. I use this lens with my Olympus OM-D 5 MII, which makes the camera well balanced. (I tested my car with the 12/100 f4 of a Friend, and I felt the car unbalanced forward, which I do not perceive with this lens). I read various reviews that preferred that OM System, produced it duplicable, but it would have conflicted with the older sister 40/150 f2.8, so drop in sales of that lens, already lose many estimators because this lens weighs much less and what in my opinion is a very advantageous fact. Who will evaluate the purchase of the 40/150 f2.8 or the 40/150mm f4, will evaluate the difference in cost and weight. I can say that I am fully satisfied with this perspective, in everything is for everything. A praise to OM System, for the choice of care yet another 40/150 mm lens, which satisfies everyone who wants to save money and those who want an excellent yield, all at a reasonable price when compared to the quality is at the focal length 80/300 if compared to FF.
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.
