The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm F4.0 Pro is a compact, lightweight telephoto zoom lens that covers a broad focal length range from mid-range 80mm to telephoto 300mm (35mm equivalent). This high-performance M.Zuiko Pro lens is the world's most compact and lightweight model, featuring a fixed maximum aperture value of F4.0 (as of February 15, 2022).
High image quality images
This lens incorporates an optical design with 15 elements in 9 groups. An effective layout of special lenses helps to thoroughly suppress chromatic aberration and delivers high-resolution imaging from the maximum aperture value across
the entire zoom range and frame. The lens also features ZERO (Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical) coating, thoroughly eliminating ghosts and flares for clear depictive performance even in difficult conditions such as backlit scenes. This high-performance lens fully utilises the high image quality performance of the camera body even
with High Res Shot mode.
Superb portability with inner zoom system
A retracting mechanism makes this the world’s most compact, lightweight model as a fixed aperture value, 300mm equivalent (35mm equivalent) telephoto zoom lens, measuring approximately 99.4 mm long (124 mm long when in use) and weighing approximately 382 g, making it amazingly compact and lightweight. The lens was designed with a focus on ease of use when shooting and is equipped with a mechanism that makes it possible to retract and store the lens simply by turning the zoom ring. It also uses an inner zoom system that keeps the lens length the same across the entire focal length, suppressing center of gravity changes while zooming. Using compact, lightweight lenses in the front drastically reduces the feeling of heaviness, eliminating the long lens barrel and weight at the front of the lens, which is common to telephoto lenses, making shooting easier and more well-balanced.
Improved weather sealing plus Fluorine coating added
This lens includes improved dustproof and splashproof performance
for peace of mind in adverse conditions. It can function in low-temperature environments down to -10°C, so you can shoot in the rain, snow and dusty environments.
In addition to water, oil, and dust repellent performance, the fluorine coating on the front most lens is also effective in reducing friction. The lens can easily be cleaned with a blower or cloth when it gets dirty, allowing you to continue shooting.
Closest focusing distance of 70cm
This model features a closest focusing distance of 70cm across the entire zoom range. At the telephoto end, close-up shooting is possible up to a maximum image magnification of 0.41x. Despite being a telephoto zoom, this lens also possesses superior close-up shooting performance for a wide range of applications. Focus Stacking3 is also supported, which captures multiple shots at different focal positions, and then automatically composites the shot.
