Re: Telephoto for landscapes - 40-150mm f2.8 or something else?

The 40-150 Pro, despite being built like a tank, isn’t really as heavy as you might think. I rented it once for a few days to use on my E-M10 II, and with the hood off it didn’t feel as unwieldy as I thought it would. Wish I could’ve shot more with it, I loved how it handled and the internal zooming, nothing to say about its optics which are just awesome.

But until I could afford the Pro, I went with the Panasonic 45-175, mostly because it’s an Internal zoom. But it’s damn well built, and optically it’s surprisingly good. I have lots of fun with it when I shoot landscape. It’s light and compact but I probably wouldn’t recommend it for cold temperature environments.

These are OOC Jpegs.
