Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm F/4-5.6 R Zoom Lens, Silver, For Micro Four Thirds System

Take-Anywhere Telephoto – M.Zuiko ED 40-150mm f4.0-5.6 R
The latest generation of the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 40-150 mm f4.0-5.6 R (35mm equivalent focal length: 80-300 mm) features an optimized design in a stylish black body. It’s small, lightweight and flexible enough for everything from close-up portraits to long-distance scenes both indoors and outdoors. This high-power zoom is the perfect companion to your standard kit lens, and gets you closer to the action without being burdened by travelling with too much equipment.

Versatile and Affordable
If your typical walking-around kit is an Olympus PEN or OM-D mounted with a standard kit zoom lens or wide-angle prime, the 40-150 is a great affordable option for a versatile two-lens set-up. Indoors or out-, this compact and lightweight telephoto zoom will help you capture all your stories.

Movie & Still Compatible Mechanism
One of this lens’s most interesting features is the unique-to-Olympus Movie & Still Compatible mechanism, or MSC. This technology provides amazingly fast – and nearly silent – autofocus operation. You’ll really notice the benefit when you play back your HD video and the only thing you hear is the ambient background noise in the scene you were filming; what you won’t hear is the sound of the lens moving as it changes focus. With MSC and a great focal length range, you can record everything from the big game to vacation footage with ease.
