Specialist Note "The Mju Zoom 140 is the peak of the Mju zoom evolution. What I love about this model is the sheer ambition of the lens; fitting a 140mm reach into a weatherproof body this small was a massive engineering feat for Olympus. While the aperture is best suited for daylight at the long end, the sharpness and contrast of the glass are surprisingly high for a compact. It’s an honest, stylish piece of Japanese engineering that feels much more premium than your average point-and-shoot. For anyone looking for a reliable, all-weather travel camera with massive reach, the 140 is a top-tier choice."
