The low-light Olympus lens has a smaller focal length range of 40 to 150 millimetres and is more susceptible to backlight reflections than the Panasonic. On the other hand, it doesn't even cost half as much: with a price of only 197 euros, it is the cheapest in the tested.

The Olympus M. Zuiko 4-5.6/40-150 mm holds its own in testing as the current price-performance winner. Despite the very low price, the Micro Four Thirds lens convinces with a good resolution and a high lens quality. The features, on the other hand, are somewhat meagre.
