## Description

Product Description Olympus ED 14-150mm f/4.0-5.6 Micro Four Thirds Lens for Olympus and Panasonic Micro Four Thirds Interchangeable Lens Digital Cameras From the Manufacturer The M. Zuiko Digital ED 14-150mm F4.0-5.6 (35mm equivalent 28-300mm) lens is designed to maximize the performance advantages of the Micro Four Thirds System, and it's significantly lighter and more compact--easily fitting in a jacket pocket. The new lenses, made with ED (extra-low dispersion) glass for superior image quality, complement the design of the PEN® cameras, including the powerfully simple E-PL1, also announced today, making it the all-in-one package for consumers with any skill level, including those who are new to photography. The Micro Four Thirds System standard meets the telecentric requirements of dedicated digital design. Light rays strike the imaging element nearly head-on for optimum edge-to-edge image reproduction. It also enables much more compact design than the Four Thirds System standard (or other interchangeable lens systems) because it reduces the outer diameter of the lens mount by 6mm, and the distance from the lens mount to the sensor (the flange back distance) by approximately half. As a result, M. Zuiko Digital Micro Four Thirds System lenses offer uncompromising professional quality for capturing both still-images and High-Definition (HD) videos, and the lenses are exceptionally compact to make capturing your life more fun. The high-power wide-angle to telephoto M. Zuiko Digital ED 14-150mm F4.0-5.6 zoom lens is 65 percent smaller and 70 percent lighter than the comparable 10x ZUIKO Digital ED 18-180mm F3.5-6.3, making it ideal for everything from portraits and indoor scenes to sports and landscape photography. By maximizing the advantages of the Micro Four Thirds System design, compact size, low weight and amazing image quality, the new lens significantly expand the photographic potential of the system. The inner focusing mechanism uses a light, compact, single-element unit to enable exceptionally fast, quiet autofocusing for smooth, superior operating ease during still and video capture. The manual focusing mechanism is designed to offer a responsive feel and precise operation, enabling you an affordable, high-quality means to capture your life in stills or HD videos. The 14-150mm lens also offers quieter and more responsive AF performance, and provide professional image quality for capturing amazing still images and videos. It is compatible with all Micro Four Thirds System Olympus PEN cameras, and all other current and future cameras that comply with the Micro Four Thirds System standard. When mounted on an Olympus PEN camera, the lens is stabilized thanks to the camera's in-body Image Stabilization system and offer effective shake compensation at all focal lengths.

Review: Excellent full range lightweight zoom - First, a note about some qualities ascribed to this lens by other reviewers. Focusing a lens is mainly the task of the contrast detection system of the body, not the lens. The part where the lens comes into play is the focus motor and focus elements. Complaints about slow focus are mainly the result of the contrast detection system (DSLRs use a phase detection system, which is faster). However, I find that for most shots, this is fast enough. If you want to shoot faster, aim the camera at the area of your subject, and push the shutter button half way down (this will cause it to focus). Then, when you think the subject is ready to shoot, press the button the remaining way down. It will be virtually instantaneous. With regard to the speed of the lens, it is in line with full-range zooms from Tamron, Tokina, and the like. The old axiom "quality, price, speed - pick 2," applies. In this case, Olympus chose a reasonable quality and price - if you want speed (a faster lens), be prepared to spend a lot more. However, the news is not all bad. The Olympus micro 4/3 cameras are capable of very good imaging up to 1600 ISO. So, set your camera to Auto ISO and it will bump the ISO in favor of lower aperture settings to let in more light. Shooting videos with this camera using long focal lengths requires a different technique than one would use with a normal video camera. If one tucks the elbows in against the chest, so that the forearms make an inverted V, the camera can be held steady enough to not have any difficulty with camera shake. As for my own experiences with the lens, I find it wholly acceptable for a full range zoom. Picture quality is better than expected, and the focus motor/elements move reasonably fast for working with contrast detection focus in the body. It is mainly high impact plastic in construction, but build quality is good, and if you're not giving it to apes to use, should last a long time. The actual lens elements are quite good, and for a full range zoom, have little trouble with either distortion or chromatic aberration. I am in Hawaii at the moment and have been very happy with using this as an everyday walkabout lens as I shoot landscapes, movies of my grand daughter playing in the pool, and local flora and fauna.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great weight-quality tradeoff
*by A***O on August 24, 2010*

I purchased this lens along with an Olympus PEN E-PL1 for a safari to Tanzania. While I loved my film SLR and my collection of lenses, it was inappropriate for this trip (changing film and lenses in dust clouds, airport X-rays, and nearly 2000 pictures), so I needed to move to digital with a single zoom lens. I opted to purchase a Micro Four Thirds system rather than a DSLR, hoping that the tradeoffs of sensor size vs. weight vs. price would be good ones. The total cost was about $1100 (~$500 for the camera (with a 14-32 lens), ~600 for the 14-150mm lens). With Micro 4/3, the effective focal length is twice the rated, so this lens is equivalent to a traditional 28-300mm zoom. I could have picked up an equivalent DSLR setup and lens for about the same price, but it would have weighed over 6 pounds. My combination was about 4 pounds. This was significant when much of the shooting was waiting for several minutes for an animal to "do" something and there was no place to set up even a monopod out the hatch of the safari truck. My big concern was going to be image quality. The 4/3 sensor is about 30% smaller than a DSLR sensor, but still 5-9 times the size of a compact digital. Fortunately, we were able to do some side-by-side comparisons with photos my daughters took. The larger sensor was clearly better all around - it blows away any of the compact cameras. For example, I was able to get some great shoots of a leopard in a shady tree from about 200 yards away. That was not possible with the compact cameras we had. Overall, I could not be happier. While the 4/3 sensor clearly will not match the quality possible with a DSLR, it is wonderfully capable and flexible for the serious amateur. This lens is our new travel companion.
