But while both of these options provide constant aperture coverage over a wide focal range, the olympus zooms significantly longer. The combination of great build quality and performance alone are enough to recommend this lens. Throughout the zoom range from 40mm to 150mm, the output is adequately sharp, but i also suspect that there is a significant amount of jpeg sharpening involved.
Used Olympus 40150mm f/2.8 Pro
The rolls royce of micro four thirds zoom lenses and one of the gems in my olympus lens coll.
10+ minute discussion about the lens used for terrestrial targets and then the final two minutes.
A few months ago we saw olympus release a wide to tele professional zoom lens which has now been followed by a fast tele zoom aimed at professional sports and nature photographers (this will no doubt appeal to portrait photographers as well). It provides a constant bright f/2.8 aperture, weather sealing, and excellent metal build quality.for mirrorless cameras only. Over the last few months, i’ve used it to shoot a variety of subjects from wild horses to aerial photos to. The fact that it offers a unique zoom range.
Once again, why produce a video when the information can be communicated so much more succinctly in print.
The zoom positions are marked at 40, 50, 70, 100, and 150mm, and the zoom rotation is less than a quarter turn from minimum to maximum. Close focus is a very close 2.3 feet (0.7m), which gives it a reasonable 1:5 maximum magnification. For me there are three downsides to this lens which i live in hope that olympus will remedy with a second version. The absence of lens is is referenced based on day time terrestrial use.
Olympus mzuiko 40 150mm f28 interchangeable pro lens for olympuspanasonic micro 43 cameras.
Olympus has released a teleconverter mc 14 which multiplies the focal length of the mzuiko 40 150mm f28 pro lens by 14x and losing the aperture brightness by one. Some readers may shout out in agony that a f/2.8 lens remains an f/2.8 lens.
