Review on 📸 Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm F2.8 PRO Lens: High-Performance Optics for Micro Four Thirds Cameras by Pete Hahn

Full resolution comparison shots see below:[.]=== Notes ===- The following review is based on my experience of using this lens with an Olympus OM-D E-M1 for about 1 week. .- Earlier I wrote a review about the Olympus M.ZUIKO 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 lens, where I noticed the ugly rendering of out-of-focus objects. So I decided to try this lens. Therefore, this test report contains comparison shots of the two lenses. They were shot on a tripod with the same exposure settings. My original review can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R1AK77EYRJVO8Q/ref=cm_cr_pr_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B0066J6EOU=== Pros ===- Very consistent optical performance (sharpness & resolution ) throughout the frame - Excellent flare control and no vignetting - Fast and quiet autofocus - Weatherproof, durable metal construction - Conveniently located L-Fn button (much better than a 12-40mm PRO lens that's too close to the body ) - Good blurring (no problem at 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6) === Cons === - Continuous AF still needs improvement - Price (more than 10x bigger than 40-150mm 1 :4.0-5.6 ) – Heavier and bulkier (more than 4x compared to 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6) – Limited isolation subject even at 150mm and f/2.8. You might feel that this isn't enough when shooting full-length portraits, for example. Slightly weak lens hood extension mechanism. === Summary. frames and requires a longer focal length than a standard zoom - Low light performance for night shots and indoor events - Achieve a "professional" look using the best equipmentI have no doubt that this lens is truly designed for professionals. If your needs are more casual, I'd go with the cheaper, lighter options that already exist.
