Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO Lens Will Be Priced Around $1,500?

By on

More updates are coming for the new Olympus M.Zuiko ED 40-150mm f/2.8 Pro mid-range zoom lens price information.

According to the Japanese source Digicame-info, the Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO lens price will be 160,000 Yen. This makes the lens price around $1500.

The price of ED 40-150mm F2.8 PRO kit is around 180,000 yen (around $1,700). The kit will probably include the lens and the 1.4x teleconverter.

Apparently this is slightly higher than expected. The price for the upcoming Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8 lens previously rumored around $1,200 – $1,300. At the moment we still don’t know what is being shipped with the lens.

The price update for the Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO lens also mentions that Olympus may announce new products in different dates. So the new lens will be announced separately from the Olympus PEN E-PL7 mirrorless camera on which is expected to arrive on August 28.

The lens will become the second lens in the PRO series after 12-40 f/2.8 PRO. As we all know PRO series lenses are freezeproof, splashproof, and dustproof.  We can clearly expect the Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8 PRO lens is to be announced at Photokina 2014 which will happen in September.
