[Official thread] Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f2.8 PRO

[ltsee]

Original Size:2560x1440 Middle(N)+RAW mode (Flickr downsized 1024x576)
EM5 Olympus 40-150mm PRO 1/50s ISO 200 f2.8 150mm@around MFD (I think its 0.7m)

Will like to share one test shot on its close up feature directly out of cam if case anyone is interested. Finally had a chance to test the the 40-150mm PRO on a 1/12 figurine. The head from chin to hair top is about 4cm in actual length.

No master lah , just sharing the thoughts. glare might be tough to PP though. Share more shots pls

heeheh.... ok la.. Shifu~~
sharing 2 portrait shots that I did with this lens during their ethnic groups Sunday 趕集 . I thought the lens was very sharp with super fast AF. This uncle was having a puff and he willingly posed for me lol.. So I took the chance and did a close up shot for him.

Aperture Priority mode at f/2.8 with spot metering ISO200.

I'm going Japan on third week Jan. Should I buy this lens? I don't need it since I have 35-100 f2.8 already. How much is Japan selling it?

With teleconverter?

If with tc, will lose how many stops of light?

1.4x = 1 stop
2x = 2 stops

 

[sin77]

1.4x = 1 stop
2x = 2 stops

Thanks. That's a lot

If you did not successfully pre-ordered one in the 2nd batch, you can't get one even if you decide to buy one. Just be happy with your 35-100 and pretend that this lens does not exist and not read any more posts about it. There is just no way the 35-100 can compare with it both in terms of performance and image quality.
