Used Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 14-150mm f/4-5.6 Zoom Lens - Black - for Micro Four Thirds System

Learn about the OLYMPUS 14-150mm f/4-5.6 MICRO 4/3

Light and small might have been words once synonymous with “cheap” and “low-tech.” No more. We live in the 21^st century, where small computer chips are capable of running our whole lives from the palms of our hands. And 21^st century technology requires a 21^st century zoom lens. At Adorama, we’re talking about the OLYMPUS 14-150mm f/4-5.6 MICRO 4/3 – BLACK zoom lens, a lens capable of delivering astonishing power for its size, which is about 65 percent smaller and 70 percent lighter than the comparable 10x ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 18-180mm f/3.5-6.3. What does that mean for you? It’s a portable package for a lot of zooming power. Consider:

• An inner focusing mechanism makes use of all the lightness and compact design in the Olympus 14-150 to provide a fast and quiet autofocusing experience. That means easy video capture, even when the subject is in motion. Taking HD videos means you’ll want to get the best, most crisp images and video no matter what you’re shooting, and only a fast focusing mechanism will suffice to provide exactly that. This lens has it.
• Compatible with the Micro Four Thirds System design, this is also a highly versatile lens in that it easily fits with many cameras in this line. Adding the Olympus 14-150mm f/4-5.6 to your toolbox of lenses is also a cinch, particularly if you’ve ever purchased a lens compatible with Micro Four Thirds before. If you want to build your own mobile photography studio, you would start with light, compact lenses like this, capable of giving you everything you need in a zoom lens but without the typical bulk of larger lenses.
• The Image Stabilization system contained inside the Olympus 14-150 is capable of mounting on an Olympus PEN camera, then providing startlingly clever shake compensation for all of the focal lengths contained therein. This essentially gives you the feeling of using a large tripod without the bulk of a large tripod—otherwise, it would defeat the purpose of a lens that’s as travel-friendly as many of the Olympus DSLR lenses.
• Power in a small package. Yes, that’s exactly what we’ve been saying all along, but here’s how it’s achieved: the compact design features a smaller outer diameter of the lens mount, and the distance from the lens mount to the sensor is also lowered in turn. The result is that you’ll have many of the same requirements and features as you would with any lens, but simply in a smaller package. It’s an ingenious bit of engineering that saves you both space and money.
• Consistent image quality. Even if you’re going to pack a lens of this lightness with you, you’re still going to need to know how your images will turn out. Luckily, there’s plenty of picture power contained therein, from the autofocus and the HD videos to the brilliant way this lens is designed. You’ll notice that the edge-to-edge quality of the images is consistent within each and every shot, as well.

We know at Adorama that, sometimes, big things come in small packages. Never has that been more true than with the OLYMPUS 14-150mm f/4-5.6 MICRO 4/3 – BLACK lens.
