Olympus users, the Olympus 40~150mm 4-5.6 zoom is on sale.

It is selling for $99. This lens is a deal even without the big discount.

Much of the Macro I have shot recently was with that lens and extension tubes.

I don't worry about what they call them, I look at the sensor. alfredo Jul 2015 #4

I really like that lens. Really compact and close focusing without the tubes and sharp as your images show.

No details on the functional improvements, but the pics show some ergonomic changes to the grip and relocation of the control dials.

I sure wish Oly would simplify the nomenclature for their OMD camera line. Back in the good ole days there was the OM 1, OM 2, and when they updated it was the OM 1n etc. Now there's ten digits in the model number. Oh, well, some of us Zuikophiles from the day are just hard to please I guess.

The same sensor has been used throughout the line.
