Our take on the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm F4.0-5.6 R Lens

The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm F4.0-5.6 R is a budget telephoto zoom for Micro Four Thirds cameras. It covers an 80-300mm full-frame equivalent range in a body that weighs just 190 g and measures 83 mm long, so it slips into a small bag and barely adds weight. Internal focusing keeps the barrel from extending while focusing, and the minimum focus distance is 0.9 m. At $105.00 at eBay as of November 3, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range, well under what the lens typically sells for new.

Best forMicro Four Thirds owners who want a light telephoto for travelBeginners adding a first zoom beyond a kit lensOutdoor and daylight shooting where f/5.6 is enoughBudget buyers who want reach without a heavy lens
Pros
  • Very light at 190 g and short at 83 mm
  • 80-300mm equivalent reach covers sports, wildlife and portraits
  • Internal focusing keeps the length fixed
  • Sharp for the price when stopped down slightly
  • Cheap enough to treat as a carry-everywhere lens
Cons
  • Slow f/4-5.6 aperture limits low-light and shallow depth of field
  • No optical stabilization, so it relies on the camera body
  • Plastic mount and basic build
  • Not a macro lens; 0.16x magnification only
  • No weather sealing

Questions and answers

Is the Olympus 40-150mm f/4-5.6 R worth buying?
Yes, if you shoot Micro Four Thirds in good light and want cheap reach. It is sharp enough for most uses and weighs almost nothing. Skip it if you need a fast aperture for indoor or evening shooting.
Does it fit all Micro Four Thirds cameras?
Yes. It mounts on any Micro Four Thirds body from Olympus/OM System and Panasonic. There is no stabilization in the lens, so pair it with a stabilized body for handheld telephoto shots.
How far can it zoom?
It reaches 150mm, which is 300mm in full-frame terms on a Micro Four Thirds camera. That is enough for outdoor sports, birds at moderate distance and tight portraits.
Is it a macro lens?
No. Magnification is 0.16x and the minimum focus distance is 0.9 m, so it is not for close-up work. Olympus sells an MCON-58 converter for macro use, but a dedicated macro lens is the better tool.
What comes in the box?
The lens, a lens hood, a front lens cap and a rear dust cap. No case or tripod collar is included.
When is it cheapest?
Prices on this lens drift down over time and used or gray-market copies are common. At $105.00 at eBay as of November 3, 2026, it is already near the bottom of its range, so waiting is unlikely to save much.
