Olympus Zuiko 150mm f/2.0 Digital ED Telephoto Lens - Factory Demo

A superb, large-aperture telephoto zoom lens ideal for
portrait, sports scene and wildlife and nature shooting.

The Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 150mm, a remarkable f/2.0 large-aperture telephoto lens, the equivalent of a 300mm focal-length lens on a 35mm camera. The lens’ telephoto performance is coupled with high light-gathering power and full compatibility with the TIPA award-winning Four Thirds standard means it is both compact and portable.

With compressed effect and soft out-of-focus images in front of and behind the clearly defined main subject, this telephoto lens is a great choice for portrait, sports scene and wildlife and nature shooting. Special optical glass elements, such as an ED lens and a Super ED lens provide the highest image quality with optimal resolution and contrast.

Key Features:

Incredibly Versatile
The Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 150mm telephoto lens is exceptionally compact and light. Through compatibility with the Four Thirds System, this new generation lens offers distinct benefits, such as portability, high image quality and brightness.

Super Bright Aperture
The f/2.0 aperture permits the photographer to bring a shallow depth of field to the composition, allowing subjects to be creatively framed by blurring the background. Alternatively, this bright aperture is ideal for shooting at high shutter speeds and documenting a sequence of movements at high-speed, ie: the action of a sports scene or the swift motion of an animal.

Two High-Quality ED Lens Elements
Optical precision of the Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 150mm is exceptional, yielding very sharp and high-contrast images. For superior lens performance, two ED lens elements minimize chromatic aberration. One is termed a "super" ED lens element and is particularly effective in reducing chromatic aberration because it has spectral characteristics similar to the fluorite elements which are used for correcting this problem.

Multi-Coating Reduces Ghosting and Flaring
Significantly suppressing ghosting and image flare, a new multi-coating reduces the reflection over a wide range of light wavelengths.

Advanced Floating Mechanism
The optical system’s floating mechanism delivers sharp, high contrast images from close-up to infinity (shortest shooting range:1.2m).

Focus Limit Switch and Focus Stop Button
To save the photographer precious time when focusing and offering that extra edge to achieve the perfect shot, the focus range may be limited.

Splash and Dust Proof Construction
A special splash and dust proof construction protects the lens, allowing it to be used in a wide range of conditions.

Optics Designed Exclusively for Digital Photography
All Zuiko Digital lenses are designed to maximize the performance of digital SLR cameras based on the Four Thirds standard. This permits full cross-manufacturer interchangeability among camera systems that apply to the standard. Near telecentric optics ensure images have perfect color, clarity and brightness from the center to the periphery of the frame. The lenses’ high resolving power ensures the image sensor obtains the detail it requires to achieve its full potential. Furthermore, thanks to their splash-proof construction, the Zuiko Digital lenses are also protected against the elements.
