Just got this a couple of days ago. It's great for portraits, and for nearer objects at mid focal range, it's terrifically sharp. However, zoomed out on distant objects, I found it didn't resolve very well.

Olympus 40-150mm f/4-5.6 ED M.Zuiko Digital review by Ocean

small and handy but I am not used to the extreme cheap-construction Level without lens hood and every few month I got dust between the lenses Optics are good - the first half year, with a bit to much CA. With weekly practice it's getting worse. The price is to high, it's just a cheap-starter Zoom.

Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 40-150mm 1:4-5.6 ED R MSC - Review / Test Report

The construction of the lens is basic as to be expected from an affordable, consumer-grade lens. The lens body is made entirely of plastic down to the lens mount which is also why the lens is extremely light-weight at just 190g.

The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f4.0-5.6 R is a solid budget option for Micro Four Thirds shooters looking for an affordable telephoto zoom lens. The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f4.0-5.6 R ($199.99 direct)($199.00 at Amazon) is one of the less expensive lenses you can attach to your Micro Four Thirds camera. It's designed to complement the entry-level M.Zuiko 14-42mm zoom that ships with Olympus PEN bodies like the E-PL5($199.00 at Amazon). It gives you the telephoto reach that the standard kit zoom can't manage, covering an 80-300mm field of view in terms of traditional 35mm photography.

Reviews: Olympus ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 40-150mm F4.0-5.6: Review

Olympus has introduced a new medium-range zoom lens specifically

If you spend money on digital SLR camera, you should purchase lens to go with it. It is major investment for the camera body, but the lens make the huge difference for the pictures. This lens is compact and durable. I like the lens a lot, the only complaint is the lens act slowly under low light.
