It should be noted that this lens is, I believe, for a Micro Four Thirds mount Jointly agreed upon by Olympus and Panasonic. When I went to the Olympus site there was no reference to an Olympus EZ-M4015-R 40-150mm, but there is an "Olympus M-Zuiko ED 40-150mm". So I'm thinking this is a discontinued model, or a Massdrop special, but still useable on Olympus and Panasonic models using the M4/3 system. The picture in this drop is of an Olympus OMD-E-M1 their top of the line pro camera in Micro 4/3 format. All of this to say, make sure you can use this lens before joining the drop. BTW, Olympus lenses are of very high quality

Audioproin regards to that, i recently bought a Olympus OM-D E-M10. Would there be any compatibility with this lens?

FreelancerGazYes if I have this lens (it's the JP specs) and it works with my OM-D E-M10. Note for people with other M 4/3 that this lens has no built-in IS because the Olympus M4/3 have built-in stabilization.

FreelancerGazAbsolutely, Olympus is concentrating mostly on the Micro 4/3 format and so the M.Zuiko lenses will fit on all M4/3 cameras presently offered and a few from the past. It's a great idea and creates a lot of flexibility when choosing current Olympus cameras with the only exception being the "Tough" models. As you may guess, I have a couple of their cameras. I used to be a Nikon only guy...

AudioproI own this with an olympus omd-em10. It is in fact a micro 4/3. There's an abundance of deals for this lens on amazon usually. Good lens, makes for a nice form factor with an omd. But if you don't have an omd or a 4/3 camera, it has no manual focus, and an adapter would remove the auto focus function.

ElcliffoYou Own an OMD and so, if you're referring to the Oly lens offered in this drop, there would be no need for an adapter.

Lucas_TanThere's no listing for EZ 4015 on the Olympus web site that I could find.., so what is it and what makes it different than the M-Zuiko R 40 - 150mm listed there?

Audiopro"EZ 4015R", or like model designations, refers to the lens in this drop (you can Google it).
The key identifier here is the "R". The non-R version was the previous model with an older lens barrel (external) design. When the E-M10 was launched, this lens was updated to better match in looks, with an R (for "revised") added to the model name. The optical design and AF drive system is exactly the same as the previous version.
The letter "E" in the prefix refers to Olympus' E-System (the catchall for Olympus' interchangeable lens camera system, mirrorless and DSLR), "Z" means zoom (likewise, "T" means telephoto, "M" means Macro). Not sure if Olympus has always been consistent but this is the general logic that applies to most if not all Olympus mirrorless lenses. When used as a suffix as in 1442 EZ (or 1250 EZ), it means "electronic zoom" instead.
Hope this helps.
USD119 is a fabulous price for this lens BTW.
