Olympus M.Zuiko ED 40-150mm f/4-5.6 R Review: Good for birds? Sharpness Tests and More

Here, I answer the question: is this cheap kit lens good for birds? Watch to find out! The Olympus M.Zuiko ED 40-150mm f/4-5.6 R is a kit-lens for micro four thirds cameras. It's not the best lens and actually it recently malfunctioned on me. That being said, it's decently sharp and versatile. It's a little short for bird photography but can be used on occasion. I've taken some good shots with this lens and in this video, I'll let you know all my impressions.
