Olympus 40-150mm f2.8 Pro Lens - First Look

We were lucky to get a sample of the new Olympus 40-150mm f2.8 lens to try out. It was a pre-production model but performed very well all the same. Focus was nice and quick and did not falter often over 2 nights of testing.  Here are some photos we shot at the Sydney Night Noodle Markets last month. Some trying conditions considering the low light but the lens did very well.

The long zoom was impressive especially in conjunction with the fast 2.8 aperture. This made it perfect for the candid shots at the markets. Overall a very lightweight lens with pro applications that comes in at a good price. A good buy for anyone wanting to grow their Micro Four Thirds kit. We are hoping to see these lenses hit our central warehouse next week and we will then ship them out to stores. Preorder your Olympus 40-150mm f2.8 lens here - or the Olympus 40-150mm f2.8 lens and teleconvertor here.
