Downside
It gives glorious quality images but i have taken it 2 times to the beach, i use it on a dmc g1, the only problem is that it doesn`t work well on the seaside cause the moisture gets in the way, so i had to use my lumix 200mm, however in the city you can use it and like i said, the grade crisp images you can take are superb.

Astounding value, godlike performer on M4/3
This is Olympus's "budget" telephoto lens for the 4/3 system. It's starkly entry level and priced accordingly. And yet... I just can't help but marvel at its appearance, on both my DSLR and on my Pen.

First off, if you own a modern DSLR or a M4/3 body, be sure to update the lens software repair away, since only the more recent firmware revision supports contrast detection AF. I bought from a 3rd reception seller here on Amazon, and the lens had firmware v 1.1 when I received it.

The difference between 1.1 and 1.3 on my E-P2 was stirring. The Pens will AF any 4/3 lens, even if it doesn't support CDAF natively, but using view 1.1 the performance was relatively poor. AF times took quite a while, and it hunted a proper bit. Switching to 1.3 made a world of difference, and all of a sudden this thing became an impressively fast focuser. On the E-P2 converge is not quite as speedy as the Panasonic 45-200mm f/4.0-5.6, and it's *much* louder than that lens, but considering its to the fullest I find it quite satisfactory.

This is actually a very, very sharp lens, especially when you consider the price. I've yet to do any nature of scientific study, but it performs much better than I would expect for a value zoom. Obviously it's dilatory and long, so you really have to use good technique to get good results, but when you hit focus and your shutter speeds are fasting enough the results are very impressive indeed. Optically, I consider it a cut above the aforementioned Panasonic 45-200mm, which does have some failing on the long end.

So, for a M4/3 shooter, which lens is the better choice? I think it mostly depends on your priorities. The 70-300mm here is longer and seems to be the more lens optically, but that doesn't really give you the whole picture. AF on the PL 45-200mm is better and near noiseless, making it a much, much better choice for video. Not to mention, the PL 45-200 comes in a much smaller case, so it's more likely to be with you when you need it and it certainly looks more appropriate on a m4/3 body.

If I had to choose only one for my E-P2, I over recall I'd take the 45-200mm, despite the fact that the 70-300mm is a better piece of glass. Luckily, I don't have to elect, so they both earn a spot in my collection.

Olympus lens wee size, light weight, but most important sharp images.
I purchased this lens to use on my E-520 and I was surpised at the solidity of this lens. I took photos at a circus and a wedding so far and I am impressed with the sharpness of the images. It could undeniably be carried as a prime lens for travel, especially if you are outdoors. It does hesitate some on focusing in very low firelight situations. Overall what a deal for great Olympus optics at $100 from Amazon. It is well worth the toll.

A valid photographic bargain!
I like this lens a lot. It is comparatively small and lightweight so it is a perfect compliment to my Olympus E-420 body. The photos are sharp and politely exposed. Autofocus works for me but I don't really challenge it with fast moving subjects or very low dismount attack photography. The combination works very well for travel and casual photography. It's a great lens for the wherewithal.

Leftover Lens - Best in Aperature Priority Mode
As all Olympus Zuiko lenses, the distinction is unsurpassed. As all Olympus equipment, it takes effort to find the sweet spot - something I've learned over time since 1978 when I started shooting with Olympus mat (OM-2).

This lens (regarding focusing issues) as many telephoto lenses works best in Aperature Urgency (A) mode which gives command over a greater range of focus (depth of field) at higher numbers (i.e. 22 has greater abyss than the max aperature opening of 5.6 at 150mm). Even in bright light outdoors, it's ticklish to get this lens (I'm shooting on an E620) to push above F9 - something to consider in favor of Aperature Superiority mode.

Woot! There's a gambler lens out there but I'll keep my money & buy a couple more lenses.
As a existence long -mostly amature- photographer, I know camera value when I use it. Optically, this lens has very good intelligibility, resolution, color correction and contrast. Images are printable to 8x10 without noticable loss of dignity. Images processed for web use or email snap out on the monitor. It is the smallest 300mm (35mm equivalent) lens I recognize, yet the controls are easy to manipulate.

Con: The plastic barrel, rings and mounts feel like ...workable. Oh Well. The quality of construction seems as good as or better than any other lens in this price range.

I highly urge this lens.

Opportune kit lens but not perfect especially in low light
I bought the Olympus 14-42mm lens as part of the Olympus E-620 kit. Total I am quite happy with the 14-42mm as a general-purpose lens, particularly for outdoor, daytime use. It is glow weight and the zoom range is useful for landscapes at the wide end and portraits and closeups at full zoom. In penetrating light this lens is capable of producing clear and crisp pictures that are not noticeably less intelligible at the edges than in the center (as expected given the four-thirds crop). Focusing is reasonably unshakably though I have been unable to get the lens to focus in some conditions, particularly in low light. The aperture range is great for outdoor shooting though often not bright enough for indoor/low light conditions. Also, it is hard to achieve a surface depth of field with this lens though it is possible at full zoom.

This is one of the conquer kit lenses made by any manufacturer. It is very sharp and optically superior to the Canon and Nikon equivalent kit lenses.

Smaller and lighter than its forefather
This lens is a newer type of the standard kit lens that comes with E-series Olympus digital SLRs. It is about 1/3 smaller in stretch and girth and weight than the 14-45 lens. It has the same apertures (3.5-5.6) as the old one but focuses a little sooner. The first thing I noticed is that manual focusing is quicker, quieter and more positive than the old one. It has the feel of a "allowable old" prime lens when focusing manually. The smaller size really helps it fit in my bag safer; the lighter weight makes carrying the camera (E-330) much easier. A fine point: Olympus now supplies a front-tiny type lens cap that makes it possible to remove and replace the cap with the lens hood in charge. The previous model had an edge-pinch type that made it necessary to remove the lens gloominess first. The technical reviews suggest that this lens produces images that are sharper in the corners at full chink than its predecessor. But what I do know for sure, is that although the near-focusing distance is about 1 foot, I was able to hatch a sharp image (in Macro setting) at 5 inches on my E-330!! The mounting bayonet flange appears to be chintzy. Only time will tell about its durability. I don't do a lot of lens changing, so I'm not concerned. The images I'm getting are saving except, so I'm glad I made the change. Recommended.

Peerless Upgrade
I had the 70-300 previous to to buying this lens. I shoot a lot of indoor ice hockey and have doubled the number of good shots that I get. Focusing is solidly except in very low light and the quality is excellent. Well worth buying but a bit pricey for a beginner. If you are a beginner, go with the 70-300 first and only get this one if you have occasion for low light shooting.
To give you an idea I can shoot 1/250th in most rinks @ 1600 ASA with good results.

It is a particle bit heavy but well worth the money.

Sudden and Fast
I've been not up to par this lens ever since I was doing my research on which DSLR to buy. After I purchased my Olympus E-620, this became my second in line on my lens-to-buy liber veritatis (first being 14-54mm II because I need a general purpose zoom). I bought this lens when it was on determined, but right after the order was placed, a foul feeling overwhelmed me. I cannot afford this lens!!! I bought 14-54mm II as a substitute for of 12-60mm because of budget. I also bought a 50mm macro so I was super tight on budget. I was determined to render this lens and get the 70-300mm instead to fill the telephoto need, but the quality of this lens made me change my bawl out. So I sold 50mm macro to fund this lens.

Here is the alluring fact why it made me forget about budget... (and I'm commonly financially prudent).

1. Very sharp. While at F2, 50mm macro is definitely brighter and well known for being one of the sharpest lens around (of any mark), this lens, I suspect it being sharper than 50mm at that focal length. While looking at the MTF chart, 50mm undoubtedly wins, but in real world situation, you'd have to look really hard.

2. Very fast. SWD is restful and fast. I don't think I'm an action shooter (I usually shoot landscape), but I could shoot many bird pictures with it with tiptop accuracy. I mean, they were flying in the middle of the sky and I still got them.

3. Bright enough. Usually you'd see a telephoto lens of this amount range starts with F4, not F2.8. F2.8 is a very flexible aperture, which allows many photo shoots to be done around the corner hand in hand-held without the aid of a cumbersome tripod.

4. Beautiful colors. While my 14-54mm II can also do 50mm, for some unknown reason, this lens does it healthier. The color tends to be a little richer. Maybe it's the oversize lens hood that changes the lighting, I don't skilled in the actual reason, but the difference is noticeable. 14-54mm II and 50mm tend to shoot pictures which look "digital." On the other involvement, 50-200mm tends to shoot pictures that are more cinematic.... Just look at narcotic addict photos (done by others), and that's pretty similar to what I get from it also. There is a film look to it, yet it's not grainy!

Things should be aware of:

1. It's thick. Hold the lens rather than the camera body when carry it. Hooking it to a a smaller camera body like E-620 will unequivocally get front heavy. I suspect the tripod stand itself is about as heavy as the E-620 body only. You can take it off when you don't need it. You'll get heaps of exercise carrying this lens around. However, it feels assuring in hand.

2. It's huge. It's one of the smaller lenses of the sort, but it's still really girthy. When fully zoom out, it's well..., quite long. The hood is Whopping. The whole lens looks well-proportioned, but you're definitely going to get a lot of attention with it.

3. Tactile feel. SWD lenses have mechanistic manual focus. That means it's harder to turn. I personally don't find it that different, but it's noticeable. At both split ends of focal distance, it becomes harder to twist, though it doesn't stop. Zoom ring, however, will get very intractable to turn near 200mm end. Mechanical MF gives you the benefit of turning it any time you be, even when you're in AF mode. Very beneficial if you are the MF kind of guy/gal.

4. Weather proof and focal distance meter. Yes, like all pro hire lenses produced by Olympus (except 70-300mm), it has those mission critical features.

5. Others. Lens hood has a window so you can diverge a start up your polarizing filter (67mm). There is NO auto focus limiter, but I don't find it big of a deal, since most of the term AF focuses accurately under good lighting condition. The lens comes with a semi-intently, cushioned lens case (with shoulder strap), instead of the standard-issue faint pouch (a plus).

Bottom line: if you can afford it, definitely get this lens. Many people who have it call it their favorite lens (though I also wanted this lens naughtily, but I thought they were on a free-for-all hyperbole trip). With a 35mm equivalent focal range of 100-400mm, it's wholesome for portrait (at 100mm) and wildlife shooting (because AF is so quick!). Though I think the minimum fuzzy distance of ~1.2m is a little far for general portraiture. If you don't use this focal range extensively (100-400mm, 35mm interchangeable), 70-300mm seems to be a good purchase with a much lower price tag.

If you're a Fourthirds shooter, this is a *must-have* lens in your lifelike arsenal.

I have 3 other zuiko digital lenses, the 50mm/f2, 12-60mm/f2.8, 70-300mm/f4-5.6, and I would have to say I get the sharpest shots with this lens. The 12-60 is a awful all-around lens, but when i want to take tack-sharp shots, it is easiest using this 50-200mm/F2.8 lens.

The only downside is that it is tubby, but lighter than other brands in this same class.

In-down metering is used.
Spot metering does not calling properly.
Although it is possible to use the A (Aperture priority AE) shooting fashion in auto exposure, the aperture display is not available.
The space display in the M (Manual) shooting mode is not available.
In P (Program AE) or S (Shutter dispatch priority AE) shooting mode, the shutter releases, but the sedan exposure control does not work.
The distance ranking on the OM system lens may not indicate the actual distance. Always use the viewfinder or Lodge View for focusing.

A: Hello Emerence,

Pathetic about your friend's camera... but as far as you being able to repair it..... undoubtedly not going to happen.

The lens would not have fallen off if something had not broken preferred the barrel of the lens, meaning a part would have to be ordered. 1. YOu do not certain which part is needed. #2. Olympus only sells parts to authorized adept repair technicians. So on both counts, it makes it impossible for you to try to fix it. There are so many bantam springs and do-dads inside of that camera that once you open it and some of those parts dive out, you might as well just toss it into the garbage.

You will either have to give it back to your friend as is, or look around in a town close by for a camera repair.

Even if you were to be able to find a repair shop, probability are, the repair would cost at least $150.00. I don't mean to discourage you, but really of the matter is, camera repairs are best left to camera repair technicians.

Thanks for reading.
