OM SYSTEM 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO Black Telephoto Lens

The OM SYSTEM 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO Black Telephoto Lens is a high-performance, professional-grade lens designed for the Micro Four Thirds system. It's built to deliver exceptional image quality, robust build, and versatile functionality, catering to both photography and videography enthusiasts who demand precision and reliability. Designed exclusively for cameras within the Micro Four Thirds system, this lens offers seamless integration with Olympus and other compatible MFT camera bodies, ensuring optimal performance and maximizing the system's compact, lightweight advantages. The wide f/2.8 maximum aperture is constant throughout the zoom range, providing excellent low-light capabilities and allowing for a shallow depth of field, creating beautiful bokeh. The aperture can be stopped down to f/22 for extensive depth of field in well-lit conditions. Offering a versatile telephoto range, which is equivalent to 80-300mm in the 35mm format, this lens is suitable for a wide array of subjects, from portraits to wildlife and sports photography, offering users remarkable flexibility.

Dual VCM (Voice Coil Motor) AF System ensures fast, silent, and accurate autofocus performance, which is crucial for capturing sharp images of fast-moving subjects and for video applications where noise can be disruptive. A user-friendly Manual Focus Clutch allows for immediate switching between auto and manual focus modes by simply pulling the focusing ring towards the camera body. This affords precise control over focusing, beneficial for critical shooting scenarios. The programmable L-Fn function button can be assigned various functions, enhancing the lens' usability by allowing photographers and videographers to quickly change settings without taking their eye off the subject. A ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) lens coating minimizes ghosting and flare, ensuring clear and vivid images even in challenging lighting conditions.

The rounded 9-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out-of-focus quality when employing selective focus and shallow depth of field techniques. The rounded blades enhance the bokeh effect, making it more natural and appealing. A removable rotating tripod collar offers increased stability when mounted on a tripod, especially beneficial for long exposure photography or when using heavy filters. The rotating feature allows for easy switching between landscape and portrait orientations. Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, featuring dust, splash, and freeze resistance. This durability ensures the lens performs reliably in diverse environments, from rainforests to deserts.

High Performance
M.Zuiko PRO lenses are built for the highest level of performance, incorporating fast apertures and weathersealed construction.

Dual VCM
Smooth, rapid autofocus is a crucial factor in image quality. The 40-150mm f2.8 PRO’s innovative, industry-first Dual VCM (voice coil motor) AF delivers. Separating the focusing mechanism into two lens groups controlled by individual linear drive motors makes AF performance extremely fast and, with no gears involved, nearly friction-free and incredibly quiet.

Pro Build Quality
We know that serious photographers need the highest quality equipment, so we built the 40-150mm f2.8 PRO zoom accordingly. The premium metal lens body incorporates 16 elements in 10 groups, including Olympus ZERO-coated HD, ED, EDA and – for the first time in an M.ZUIKO lens – Super EDA glass for significantly reduced chromatic aberration, ghosting and flares. And its fixed f2.8 aperture is bright enough to capture sharp images across the entire zoom range.

Weatherproof
Sometimes the harshest conditions produce the most dramatic photo opportunities. With 11 separate seals to keep out moisture and dust, the 40-150mm f2.8 PRO is ready to take on the elements. You don’t have to baby this baby!

Powerfully Portable
At less than two pounds and a constant 6.2-inch length (lens movement is internal), the 40-150mm f2.8 PRO combines with OM-D or PEN camera bodies to create a very stable shooting platform. The 40-150mm f2.8 PRO also makes it simple to shoot your way. Adjust settings on the fly with the programmable L-Fn function button - located right on the lens barrel for easy access.
