Product Description
Marketing description is not available. weight in its class, this cost-efficient 3.8x telephoto lens uses an ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lens element for optimum correction of chromatic aberrations. Incorporating a circular aperture diaphragm for beautiful defocusing, this lens assures high picture quality throughout the zoom range, as well as providing an astonishingly short closest focusing distance of 90cm throughout the zoom range.

Good telephoto lens, but no macro May 11, 2008

I bought this lens to complement the stock 14-42 that came with my Olympus e420. I actually paid $101 for it at a local camera store, when Amazon was asking $300 for it (now it is down to $128).

Main reason I bought it was to get some reasonable tele-power for my camera, and the price certainly was right.

While it is a very decent lens for objects 2 meters and out, it lacks macro capabilities. I do mostly nature shots, and find myself constantly switching lenses in places where I would hate to see anything drop to the muddy floor.

At 150, power is pretty good for perspective shots, but not nearly strong enough for shooting birds or wildlife. Looks like I'll be purchasing more glass in the near future, something like a pancake 12-600 tele-macro with automatic IR to UV programmable filtering 8^)

I got this lens with my E-510 (14-42mm and 40-150mm).

It's my main lens for now. I don't use the 14-42mm much. it's sharp sometimes. 3 to 5 of 10 photos are excellent, the rest just decent or below. slow auto focus in light and sometime not accurate. I use manual focus mostly to get the best results. I used it with the ex-25 and I got very nice macro shots. but for taking pictures of wild life or birds this is not good and for me it's worthless for these kinds of photography. also not good for macro unless you combine it with the ex-25.

In my opinion, it's better to buy the old 40-150mm f/3.5 if you can find it or just jump to 70-300mm if you have money because you almost will stop using it if you have the 70-300mm. at lease the 70-300mm excellent for macro and reaches further.

Highly recomend this for anyone with a olympus. Used it at a football game and got some great action shots even across the field. This was my first SLR so took a little getting used to it but well worth it.

I am a bit amused at the people who rate this less than 5 stars. I got mine refurbished for $80 which was a great deal, but even for the current $115 for a brand new lens is still an amazing deal. Sure this isn't a lens that will blow your mind, but I had no problems with this. Even in low light it performed just fine if you boost the ISO to about 1k. The pictures in sunlight are superb. I have no complaints, this is an awesome lens to upgrade to if you aren't satisfied with the limited zoom of the standard 14-45 lens.
