Compact Four Thirds Telephoto Zoom

The Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/4-5.6 is a lightweight lens built for Four Thirds System cameras. It provides a 3.8x telephoto zoom range with an 80-300mm equivalent focal length in 35mm terms. The optical design uses 12 elements in 9 groups, including one Extra-Low Dispersion element to control chromatic aberration. A rounded 7-blade diaphragm supports smooth background rendering.

Add-On for Standard Kit Lenses

This lens suits photographers who want extended reach for portrait or sports shooting alongside a standard 14-42mm zoom. Its variable f/4-5.6 aperture and minimum focus distance of 3' limit low-light and close-up work. Buyers needing wider maximum apertures, internal focusing, or weather sealing should look at other options. It is not designed for full-frame coverage or video-centric features.

Direct Mount on Four Thirds Bodies

The lens mounts natively on Four Thirds cameras without adapters, making installation straightforward. Autofocus and aperture control are handled electronically by the camera body. The extending barrel rotates during focusing, so polarising filters must be readjusted after focus is locked. Dust can enter the mechanism over time if the lens is frequently zoomed in dusty environments.

Questions about this item

Which Four Thirds camera body do I need to use the 40-150mm f/4-5.6 lens?

The lens mounts on any Four Thirds System body; the ultra-compact E-400 is highlighted as a particularly good match.

Can I keep my 14-42mm standard zoom and swap to this 40-150mm for longer reach?

Yes, it is designed as the add-on telephoto to the 14-42mm, extending the 35mm-equivalent range from 80mm to 300mm.

How do I verify the ED element is correcting chromatic aberration after I attach the lens?

Shoot a high-contrast edge at 150mm and check for purple or green fringing; the single Extra-Low Dispersion element is built to minimise it.
