Mark:I have used the Olympus 50-200 SWD lens for half a decade for sports and other professional photography. For the past 3 years on an E-M1 with MMF3 adaptor.I recently had the opportunity to use both the new 40-150 PRO and my usual lens back-to-back during 6 days of shooting at two national sporting events. I was hoping to answer the question: Does the new lens offer huge benefits versus the 50-200 SWD or should I keep my existing lens?
Both are highly capable optics and the answer is not clear cut. I think it depends on several aspects and my thoughts are shared in a blog post which is available here: http://flightlevel42.co.za/40150PROReview.html

Full Olympus 17mm f/1.2 review by Mirrorlessons

Share

The new Olympus 17mm PRO lens is set to start shipping out next month. Mirrorlessons posted the full review of this lens:

The M.Zuiko 17mm f/1.2, despite its excellent optical performance, is more of a niche product than any other PRO lens released to date. This is because its fast maximum aperture only brings a tangible benefit to certain kinds of photographers – namely professionals who shoot environmental portraits or who work in poor light conditions on a regular basis. For all other genres that require a moderate wide angle, such as street, documentary, or landscapes, the f/1.2 aperture and the beautiful bokeh that accompanies it is a nice bonus but far from a necessity.
