Is buying the M.Zuiko ED 40-150mm f4.0-5.6 R a waste of money?
2 days ago

Currently Olympus has the M.Zuiko ED 40-150mm f4.0-5.6 R on sale for only $149. Is this lens half decent?

I know this is not an apples to apples comparison but should I wait and and really fill up the piggy bank for the M.Zuiko 40-150mm f2.8 PRO which sells for about $1400?
