Olympus 40-150mm telephoto lens
The new Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm F4.0-5.6 is extremely light (190g). Its wide zoom range is equivalent to 80-300mm on a 35mm camera, and its Micro Four Thirds System design offers outstanding portability that makes interchangeable lens photography easier. Despite offering telephoto performance equivalent to 80-300mm on a 35mm camera, the M. Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm F4.0-5.6 weighs only 190g. Compact enough to enable handheld shooting at the equivalent of 300mm, it is a telephoto zoom that significantly expands shooting opportunities with its easy handling and outstanding portability. The rear focusing mechanism uses only two lens elements to enable exceptionally fast, quiet autofocusing for smooth, stress-free still-image and movie shooting.

The new Olympus 40-150mm lens offers quieter and more responsive AF performance, and offers SLR image quality for still-image and movie shooting.
