Olympus Zuiko Digital 40-150mm f3.5-4.5 zoom lens (Electronics)

Customer Review

I was looking for a kompekten and not to heavy telephoto complement the 14-42 kit lens that came with my E620. The 40-150 provides everything I wanted:

- Compact size and weight passable
- Good image quality, especially when shooting with open aperture (Portrait)
- Ordinary light intensity (max 4.5.) As compared to usual "travel zoom"
- Cheap price
- Good handling

Perfect it is especially for portrait photography and for all the details, which should be cropped by a shallow depth of field at full aperture the background.

Of course, there are drawbacks, but the fall for me not's weight. Nevertheless, they are listed here:

- Loud autofocus - could be a disadvantage when taking pictures in noise-sensitive environments
- Minimum distance to the subject 1.5m - nothing for macro fans

My conclusion: except for specific applications a great lens and a strong buy recommendation.
