• Action-ready. A lens has to be action-ready, whether you’re photographing someone moving around in the studio or taking a zoomed-in action shot of a live game. But what exactly does a phrase like “action-ready” really mean? Well, when it comes to the Olympus 40-150mm lens, it means that you’re going to be able to grab your trusty zoom lens and take a quality, accurate shot within a moment’s notice. That means you won’t have to be surprised or startled when a subject like a wild deer appears on the horizon; you’ll just have to have the lens handy.
• Handle closer shots. Everyone knows a zoom lens is important if you’re going to be photographing subjects that are far away. But a lens that can also handle closer shots with crispness? Now that’s something to behold. So behold the Olympus 40-150 lens’s ability to handle even close-range subjects instantly, thanks to a wide telephoto range that gives you the versatility to handle distant birds as well as close-by portraits.

• The lightweight design means that this telephoto lens isn’t something that you’ll have to lug around with discomfort.

A lightweight lens is better than a heavy one, especially if the lightweight one is capable of the same kind of imagery as the heavier option. Our advice? Stick with the lightweight lens. They’re just as capable, and much easier on your back.
