Bought this for its long 4X zoom........ pluses- lightweight, Manual Focus override with EM-1,..... minuses- slightly soft after 150mm (pixel peeping), slow max aperture means using a higher ISO, less accurate Auto focus in shade, No IS means tripod only use for Panny cameras. no hood included..... I think most will be satisfied with sharpness of this lens. It is a good sunny day lens. Those wanting a faster, sharper, weather-sealed PRO lens will pay another grand more.
For a traveler shooter, this may be the best ticket: small, light, sharp, affordable; wish it's weatherproof to match the EM1 and EM5II cameras, and hood is included; won't need a Pro lens since this would do it; AF struggles a bit under low light ; this coupled with the 14-150mm would constitute anyone's light travel package.

I tried some test shots, Considering the range on this lens it's a good value. It's a bit slow focusing and the pictures come out sharp and clear with good color on my Olympus 5 MarK II

I have used this lens a few times on my olympus camera and have been very pleased with the results. For my purpose it is just fine. I find the reach is more than adequate for my purposes. It focuses very quickly but of course does not do as well when it is not so bright outside---I need a more expensive lens for that---but I will just wait for the brighter days. I am not a professional so am very happy with the results I am getting from this lens. Thank you very much

Pros: -Lightweight -Small -Has the same reach as a 600mm full-frame lens due to the Micro Four Thirds crop factor -Fairly sharp, all the way to 300mm (even better if you sharpen the raw files in a good raw editor) -Very fast focus -Works hand-held on most recent Olympus OM-D bodies (with in-body stabilization) Cons: -Aperture only opens to f/6.7 at 300mm, so high ISO or long exposures required in dim light -Zoom ring is very stiff to operate -Tripod needed for un-stabilized cameras, like many Panasonic Lumix bodies
