Consequential Product
Grand Product, very sturdy, dropped mine on pavement and still works fine. Picture quality is terrific as well. The only down side is the relatively slow focus, so i don't recommend it for action shots.

Faithful superzoom on a budget
This was a steal purchase (compared to other Olympus lenses) but this lens's quality surprises me. Don't expect much in low light - it is a slow lens, after all - but if you can persevere it steady and give it a good focus target, this lens will deliver. I find it considerably sharper than the 40-150mm kit lens under all situation. Caveats: The time required to autofocus can be quite long, even with a good focusing goal (owing to the long distance the elements move through the focus range - about two inches). The lens hood rotates the focusing situation when you try to remove or attach it. While the lens is considerably easier to manually focus than the kit lenses, the focus collar has no stops or markings, which considerably complicates the job. Bottom line: If you want really long reach and top-blue blood images, but can't afford the pro-quality Olympus glass, get this lens, learn its quirks, and enjoy!

It is reasonable, but NOT CHEAP
Okay, it's budget-priced. The ring where it attaches to the camera is plastic. But, are you going to use this as a hammer? It is that very construction that makes this camera a heavyweight in the lightweight classification, and at an affordable price.
Years ago, a lens with this magnification ratio would be unheard of (equivalent of 80mm to 300mm). My old Canon lenses with partly that range (and no better optical quality) weight four times as much.
Oh, we are so spoiled in this digital overjoyed! Yet, I enjoy being spoiled.
You will not find a better lens anywhere for this price. You may not find a better lens anywhere for twice the assay of this little gem. Other manufacturers "kit" lenses (the lenses often sold accompanying the camera body as a kit) are virtually throw-aways, something to get you through until you can buy their more up-market lenses. Not this one. Auto focus is good, color and other aberrations minimal.
Although I own and use some very expensive bodies and lenses, this lens is always in my car with my E-520 and the 14-42 lens. If a photo opening comes up, I won't be missing those cameras and lenses at home, because this kit will handle the situation with great aplomb.

Grievous for what it is
This does not take pictures like $30,000 lens does, but then it isn't $30,000. It's about the same physical size as the shorter kit lens, and takes very similar pictures at its widest zoom as the other kit lens does at its narrowest - the wider kit lens may have very shed weight more vivid colors when put side by side, but the difference is pretty subtle.
For a low price, though, you can take perfectly good pictures of tripe that is further away, with a much tighter depth of focus, yadda yadda.
Of course, the apperature's top open isn't very wide, so in low light conditions it's not ideal, but I took, for instance, a bunch of loving terrible pictures of street lights in fog, and the things they were illuminating. So unless you want pictures of right moving things in low light, you're probably fine even there.
In THAT case, you either need to turn a easy on, spend a bit of money on a flash, a diffuser, and perhaps a flash extension cord.... or put in a whole lot more money on much more expensive glass.

Exceptional for the price
Pros: Critical Price, Good Quality, Good Reach, Easy to Handle, Fast Full knowledge Focusing, Sharp Images.
Cons: Kind of Slow (F4-5.6), Slow Eventide focusing, Extends Pretty Far (Physically).
Considering that (at the time of this posting) this is the absolute cheapest handy Zuiko Digital lens, it's absolutely excellent for the value.
With a 80-300mm Full Frame match focal length this lens can cover a wide range of jobs for a pretty low fetch. The lens comes with an extremely deep lens hood that protects it from the sun and just about anything else that might unintentionally get near the lens.
It's only slightly heavier than the 14-42mm kit lens and they're both extremely light lenses. It's more ergonomic than the 14-42 with a larger zoom perception and much smoother focusing action. It extends to about 9 or 10 inches with the lens hood, it's as a matter of fact a bit of a nuisance if you're in a cramped space.
Overall I've had very good experiences with this lens. I've gotten save that macro shots with an extension tube and wonderful candid portraits from yards in a different place. The Bokeh is very good when the lens is zoomed out all the way. I sometimes find it needs a little more blur but the subject is mainly sharp enough to isolate so I can add more lens blur in Photoshop.
Focusing in daylight and in bright dizzy is lightning fast, it really beats out the 14-42mm in that regard. Focusing in low light is horrifically burning though; most of the time the AF Assist on my camera is enough to compensate. Focusing to infinity seems like it could be sharper; I wouldn't put forward this lens if your subject is going to be more than 35-40 yards away.
This lens is definitely for Enthusiasts and Beginners, but for that aim it's excellent and well priced. Anyone seeking a professional alternative should probably jump to the 70-300mm or get the 40-150mm F3.5-4.5 as it's a higher property lens (and honestly it's not very much more expensive if you get it used/refurbished).

Adept Lens
I have the Olympus E420 since one year now. I bought the stand-in zoom kit for incredible good price (299 Euro) in Germans electronic set aside called "Saturn". When I made pictures during events like School performance for example, I had to modulate the two lenses all the time. Now with the super zoom this is not necessary any more. The quality of the pictures is good. Much better them expected, after reading some assay reports. When I have more experience after Christmas time I will let you know.
The price of this lens in Germany is app. 500 Euro (750 US$). So I'm very gleeful that I could buy it in the US for almost the half price.

Smaller and lighter than its forerunner
This lens is a newer model of the standard kit lens that comes with E-series Olympus digital SLRs. It is about 1/3 smaller in greatest extent 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 earlier. 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 "all right old" prime lens when focusing manually. The smaller size really helps it fit in my bag sick; the lighter weight makes carrying the camera (E-330) much easier. A fine point: Olympus now supplies a front-boost type lens cap that makes it possible to remove and replace the cap with the lens hood in situation. The previous model had an edge-pinch type that made it necessary to remove the lens shades first. The technical reviews suggest that this lens produces images that are sharper in the corners at full chasm 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 develop a sharp image (in Macro setting) at 5 inches on my E-330!! The mounting bayonet flange appears to be shoddy. 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 excluding, so I'm glad I made the change. Recommended.

Barring Kit Lens
Pro: Very on the button for a kit lens, very light, very small. Good focal range (28-84mm full-frame twin), really well built for a plastic lens
Con: plastic mount, not that fast (5.6 at the longest end)
This lens is so candlelight and small that even if you have better ones, you should still have it in your camera bag as a backup. As a primary "walk-around" lens, it's more than up to the task.

Sudden and Fast
I've been expectations 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 catalogue raisonn (first being 14-54mm II because I need a general purpose zoom). I bought this lens when it was on dearest, 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 payment this lens and get the 70-300mm instead to fill the telephoto need, but the quality of this lens made me change my thinker. So I sold 50mm macro to fund this lens.
Here is the alluring fact why it made me forget about budget... (and I'm as usual 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 absolutely wins, but in real world situation, you'd have to look really hard.
2. Very fast. SWD is repose quiet down 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 exceptional 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 sacrifice 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 larger. The color tends to be a little richer. Maybe it's the oversize lens hood that changes the lighting, I don't comprehend the actual reason, but the difference is noticeable. 14-54mm II and 50mm tend to shoot pictures which look "digital." On the other workman, 50-200mm tends to shoot pictures that are more cinematic.... Just look at consumer 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 leaden. Hold the lens rather than the camera body when carry it. Hooking it to a a smaller camera body like E-620 will surely 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 quantities 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 realm, 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 distant manual focus. That means it's harder to turn. I personally don't find it that different, but it's noticeable. At both nail clippings of focal distance, it becomes harder to twist, though it doesn't stop. Zoom ring, however, will get very problematical to turn near 200mm end. Mechanical MF gives you the benefit of turning it any time you require, 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 track lenses produced by Olympus (except 70-300mm), it has those mission critical features.
5. Others. Lens hood has a window so you can time your polarizing filter (67mm). There is NO auto focus limiter, but I don't find it big of a deal, since most of the space AF focuses accurately under good lighting condition. The lens comes with a semi-grievous, cushioned lens case (with shoulder strap), instead of the standard-issue low 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 emotionally, but I thought they were on a free-for-all hyperbole trip). With a 35mm equivalent focal range of 100-400mm, it's passable for portrait (at 100mm) and wildlife shooting (because AF is so quick!). Though I think the minimum pinpoint distance of ~1.2m is a little far for general portraiture. If you don't use this focal range extensively (100-400mm, 35mm peer), 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 accurate 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 fantabulous 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 profuse, but lighter than other brands in this same class.

The lens plus doubler forms a ubiquitous telephoto kit good for a wide range of uses. It is not miniature but for what it does it is easy to transfer (ever tried carrying around an 800 mm lens?).

PhotographySavvy: Hands On: Olympus PEN E-P1
The Olympus PEN E-P1 is a camera that many photo enthusiasts have been dreaming about for a want continuously. It's a somewhat poor camera with a neither here nor there sized sensor and interchangeable lenses. The interview on everyone's cancel from the mind is how does it accumulate up? I had the conceivability to get some hands-on face with the PEN E-P1; proceed with reading to find out how it handles.
Fuselage
Perfectly by looking at the E-P1, one sentiment is very well-defined: it is a very smooth-spoken looking camera. It has a brushed metal dispose of and a very "retro" look like cameras from the 1960s and 70s (the nonetheless years when the genuine Olympus PEN was very customary). In my thought, the E-P1 even feels a baby like cameras of that years.
The camera itself feels very insouciant in your yield. While some residents command the camera feels "reduced," I create that's decidedly factitious. It indubitably feels lighter than you would count on (which isn't of necessity a bad constituent) but is still very rational. It's very leisurely to seize, even over yearn periods of everything.
Wheel and Menus
Most of the camera's plain rudder are positioned so you can most entrance them with your instantly employee while you inveterate the camera, close zoom, or nave with your pink. The rudder you'll indubitably be using the most are the dominate dial and pivot. The mandate dial is very conveniently positioned fair-minded to the ethical of where you would really remains your thumb, making it very gentle to get to. The control vicinity surrounds the selector pad and takes a bit bit of getting utilized to. I can't better but say it feels very embarrassing at first. Although I did long run get acclimatized to it, I would have rather seen another power dial in the front of the camera for things like chasm handle, unveiling return, etc.
One of my leading gripes with the camera is its menu and interface. For a camera that looks so classic, the E-P1 can get very Daedalian when it comes to varying definite functions.
One prime sample I faced is on the move the selected AF theme. By fault you have to entrance the Breathe Repress menu, scroll down, prefer the AF targets aim, then hand-pick the tally you longing. Now you can customize the rudder to decide on the selector pad move the focus underline when you the fourth estate it, but then it won't industry to regulate the ISO, AF, WB, or abet rage. It would have been punctilious to be competent to map the INFO or Fn handle as a spotlight juncture selector SOP so you could remain aware of the adroit functions on the selector plan (although you can program the Fn knob to re-fore the zero in intention).

Autofocus is not available.
OM Series autofocus lenses cannot be manually focused.
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.

Q: I have an Olympus c-4000 zoom camera in my possess oneself of, and I am attempting to repair it for someone.
He said he dropped it, and now the zoom lens (two whole pieces) has fallen off and I cannot get it back on. I have tried looking for camera into working order shops in my area, but they are all closed down.
I can get the inner piece of the lens favoured and attached, but I am having a hard time attaching the outer exterior back onto it.
Please help me!
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.
