Would buy this again.
Bought this kit for when I walk the dog, run errands around town, and take short trips. The 14-150mm represents a wide range and delivers very nice images. The 17mm is very fast and has great corner detail. I typically use these two lenses with my EM5 Mark II and they form a very light kit. If I want to go super light I just take the 17mm. You really can't go wrong with these two lenses at this price-point.

Nice, for the price
For the price, these are nice lenses. The wife and I just finished a two week trip across Ecuador. I bought this travel kit to take with me, but ended up only taking the 14-150mm with me, since the 17mm was a triplicated length with the 14-150 and the Oly 12-42mm f/2.8 kit lens. The 17 mm lens is very nice, and I like the f/1.8 aperture. Decent image quality. The 14-150mm variable aperture is a little frustrating with low light, but the focal len... Show More

Useful and Economical Combination!!
This is an interesting lens package set at an attractive price-point, especially when it's put on sale.

At 4 oz. you can hold the camera and shoot with one hand. All the professional reviewers love the lens and for good reason. The 14-150 isn't and doesn't claim to be a premium lens. It is, however,...

Great Lenses
So I will start by saying I haven't used the 14-150 enough to properly review or give my opinion on, but the 17mm is absolutely amazing. The focal length is such a great overall lens and can be used is all different situations. The 1.8 aperture makes it great for shooting in low light settings (much of what I do). I can't wait to get out and shoot more with these lenses.

An excellent replacement for a kit lens
I ordered this kit with Olympus PEN E-PL8 body instead of getting a kit 14-42mm lens. After two weeks of shooting I think that this was a pretty good choice. - 17mm f1.8 lens is great, I will never replace it. The images are sharp, bright and colorful, low light performance is great, the lens is very small and light. - The hood for 17mm lens is perfect, made from aluminum and installed with thumb screw. - 14-150mm lens is a good all around starte...
