Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The overall size and weight of the Olympus D-510 2 lens kit (14-42 and 45-150) offered a small, light kit that is very versatile.My only issue is I find myself in a lot of situations where a rapid lens change is required with this combination so I was looking for something in a single lens that offered a larger zoom range.
This lens offers the zoom range I was looking for, but its almost the size and weight of the two kit lenses put together and is slower than either.I did not have any color or clarity problems attributable to the optics in this lens and in theory its a step up from the kit lenses.
Unfortunately, largest aperture falls off to f6.3 rapidly and that makes for a slow lens over the majority of its zoom range, which also causes a dimmer viewfinder image, and slower auto focus.
Its not quite disappointing enough to return, but in general you are better off with the kit lenses from a size/weight/quality standpoint.If you REALLY need the zoom range in a single lens, this is worth considering, but the compromises that come with this lens are greater than I've seen in other third party lenses with a similar zoom range (admittedly for other lens mounts).
I think I'll look towards the 50-200mm f2.8-3.5 Olympus lens next.
