Preorders: Olympus 150-400mm lens at BHphoto, GetOlympus, Adorama.

Petr Bambousek tested the new Olympus 150-400mm PRO lens in Costa Rica (article here at SulaSula). His conclusion:

If you expect any reproach or complaints, you won’t get them from me. Optically, it’s great, incredible in range, absolutely resistant to the whims of the weather, with extra strong stabilisation allowing you to take pictures of larger insects, birds and mammals of all sizes. It’s a real rarity on the market and its utility potential cannot be justified by its specification. Yes, there are lenses that have some elements of the specs, but none combined like this. And the price? Yes, it’s high, however it correlates exactly with the possibilities that open up for nature photographers. I swapped my opportunity to get it for a 10-day stay in Costa Rica, but when the time comes, I will be happy to be on the waiting list and honored to be its proud owner. Finally, have a look below at a medley of photos that I had time to edit so far. I believe they document well an interesting variety of what I could capture with the incredible 150-400mm/ 4.5 TC lens during my stay.
