Excellent value
For what it is, namely an inexpensive zoom telephoto lens, this is a very good choice for the Olympus OM-D series. It is a great supplement to the kit lens (extends your range into the telephoto), but don't forget to get a nice fast prime lens as well.

Working Great, Pleased with my purchase
I'm an amateur photographer who's been using the kit 14-42 mm lens for about a year. I was looking to expand my repertoire a bit and chose this lens. It's been great so far and I've enjoyed being able to try out some different styles of photography.

Great lens
High quality optics in a well designed, light (for a zoom) form factor. Excellent light capture for a relatively high f4.0. Was able to get some indoor shots with ambient lighting on a dark cloudy day just messing around with the lens on unboxing.

Nice, small lens
In keeping with the micro 4/3rds system, this small lens packs a lot of focal length in a small package. Sharpness and contrast are ok. I gave it four stars (vice five) because it is mostly plastic, and you should be careful in handling the lens.

cheap and light, can't go wrong.
It does what it's supposed to, and it's really light. I don't really like telephotos, but I got this just to have around. Image quality is fine; it's not my main lens, so it's good enough. stick it in your camera bag and you'll forget it's there.

Not Bad for the price
I use this lens with my Panasonic GH4 for photo/video, and for the price it handles very well. I couldn't believe how small and lightweight it is. Its also plastic, which did not look the case on the photo, but overall its not a bad cheap lens.

Versatile
I needed a lens that would allow me to capture my granddaughter's gymnastics routines from across the gym. This fits the bill and then some. I can actually get personal close ups without photoshop! Can't wait to try it out in nature as well.

great lens for distance and zoom
Fantastic deal getting the camera with this extra lens which is perfect for zoom and distance and the best thing about it is that is not like those huge lenses for profesional cameras the size is perfect and still takes wonderful pictures

I've been very happy with this lens
this is a replacement for the identical lens, which I have been using for the last couple of years--nice an light, easy to carry in forest trails, gives very nice images of people participating in activities even in low-light situations.

Great little lens
Got this lens for landscapes and travel shots. I was pleasantly surprised how well it performs as a portrait lens. Head-shots at around 75mm give good separation and pleasing bokeh. Very sharp, good contrast and colours. A bargain.

A Lot of Bang for the Buck.
I use this lens for nature photography. I believe that I achieve results comparable to very expensive professional lenses from other manufacturers. I have to get a little closer perhaps, but I am able to do that in many instances.

Very sharp!
I haven't used the lens enough to really give a thorough review, but so far, it looks very good for the price. Very sharp detail, light and small. Perfect for my needs. Not a fast lens, but then I knew that before I purchased it.

Great value
I looked at both this lens and the pro much more $$$ version, and for the price this lens is still sharp, fast, and does the telephoto job. I recommend it, especially for travel, it's relatively small for the length of the zoom.

It's great for video
I used this on a video shoot today and it works great. In fact it's my favorite lens to use for ENG type filming. It's not too wide and not to fast, but it handles very well and takes great pictures if there's plenty of light.

Don't miss out!
Okay, so it's not mechanically up to daily professional use, but for the money you can't afford to NOT have this in your MFT kit. Mine is plenty sharp and I have no complaints. So small and light it always goes along with me.

Really like this lense!
I just bought an Olympus camera, and then wanted a zoom lense, to be able to take more of the photos I envisioned. But, I did not want to have to carry a huge lense. So, I really like this lense. The photos turn out well.

Very Happy
I love the weight of this lens and its optics are very clear. Shooting this at 85mm and at the lowest aperture setting the corners of the image are crisp and clear. I very useful lens to have added to my arsenal of lens.

Very good entry level telephoto
The lens produces very good images, especially in the 70-100 range. Excellent color and contrast. Closer to the longer end the lens starts losing some of its sharpness, but nothing too dramatic. Definitely recommended.

A fun lens with good reach and sharpness
I like this lens for adding a bit of reach on my 4/3 kit. It gets me close enough to the action without having to use my feet. The zoom is fast. The focusing is great. As a part of my kit this is a great lens to have.

Very good!
For the price of the lens, it is very efficient! It offers superb quality, at a low price-point; all in a lightweight product! There's some problem with focus when in macro shots, but it may simply be setting-related

Good lens for the $
Good lens for the price, the zoom is a little stiff and the lens is all plastic, but the image quality is good. If you are on a budget and will only use it occasionally you can't go wrong, especialy when its on sale.

Good outdoor zoom lens
For the price, it's a decent lens when shooting in daylight. It is light and compact due to all plastic except for the glass elements. Better than acceptable image quality in daylight. A consumer lens built quality.

Great Zoom Lens
For what I use the camera for, this lens is more than enough for me. I enjoy using it and it produces great pictures. I'm no professional so I do not know too much but this lens satisfies all my midrange zoom needs.
