Serious photographers need the highest quality equipment. The premium metal lens body incorporates 16 elements in 10 groups, including ZERO-coated HD, ED, EDA and Super EDA glass for significantly reduced chromatic aberration, ghosting and flare. Plus, it's fixed f/2.8 aperture is bright enough to capture sharp images across the entire zoom range.

Smooth, rapid autofocus is a crucial factor in image quality. The 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO's innovative, industry first Dual VCM (Voice Coil Motor) autofocus delivers. Separating the focussing 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.

At less than 1kg and with internal zooming, keeping the length of the lens to a respectable 15.8cm, the 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO provides a stable shooting platform with all Olympus/OM System camera bodies. Adjust settings on the fly with the programmable L-Fn button, located right on the lens barrel for easy access or switch instantly between manual or autofocus with the Manual Focus Clutch mechanism.

Sometimes the harshest conditions provide the most dramatic photo opportunities. With 11 separate seals to keep out moisture and dust, the 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO is ready to take on the elements, meaning that you can focus on getting out there and getting the shot.

The bundled lens hood has been marvelously designed to collapse back onto the lens for easy storage. When extended, the locking mechanism will fully support the weight of the lens and the camera body. To keep your investment safe, the bundles lens pouch will help to protect against dings and scratches.
