The new 40-150mm lens features a new exterior design while retaining the high performance of the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 40-150mm F4.0-5.6 telephoto zoom lens featuring top-rated natural defocusing. Covering a wide telephoto range equivalent to 80 to 300mm on a 35mm camera and weighing just 190 grams, this lens allows for swift movement to capture exciting shots. A minimum focusing distance of 0.9 meters also makes it excellent for close-up shooting. The MSC (Movie & Still Compatible) mechanism which makes the Fast AF so fast and quiet assures high-quality, in-focus movies as well as still images.
