  • Just Got My New Zuiko 40-150mmR

    Just trying out my new lens, the 40-150mmR to go with my 12-40mm Pro. I am amazed at how compact and lightweight the 40-150mm is, I know it is made of plastic but that does not matter to me. I am very pleased with the image quality too. So my kit is complete, these two lenses are all I need to cover anything whilst out rambling, happy days 😊

    I agree that the 40-150 well deserves its nickname of 'plastic fantastic'. It is so lightweight that it makes an excellent travelling companion. Mine came, many years ago, as part of a 'travel kit' that contained an E-M5, 12-50mm(with macro), 40-150mm, and 45mm f/1.8 - a low-cost trio of lenses that covered a vast range of subjects, including low light and night skies with the 45mm.

      It is indeed a worthy lens and one I use on my E-PM2 to keep everything small and light.

        I recently (very recently) bought my first m4/3 camera and this was the lens that I bought to go with it. For the money I paid it is an excellent lens. The only slight disappointment was that it came without a lens hood. I was on the point of buying one when I thought I would try the one that was on my 4/3 40-150 kit lens as it looked similar. It fits. Result!😎

          I use the JJC hood - about 1/3 the price of the Oly and seems very well made

          I have just ordered a JJC hood from E-Bay, it's half the price of the original one.
