Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
This is lightweight, compact and with a great 10x standard zoom lens covered to the range of distinct telephoto effect. It is equivalent to 36-360mm on a 35mm camera. The almighty lens can cover most of shooting scene. The closest focusing distance is down to 45cm in entire zoom area, and 0.23x (equivalent to 0.46x on a 35mm camera) of magnification allows you close-up shots. Two ED lenses and two aspherical lenses compensate each aberration to give the high-performance in entire zoom area.

5 out of 5 stars NEW COMBO LENSES.   November 23, 2008
IRWIN RUBACK (PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL.)
A GREAT SUBSTITUTION FOR THOSE WHO DON'T LIKE TO CARRY AROUND A BAG WITH TWO KIT LENSES ALTHOUGH A BIT PRICEY. IT'S ONLY SLIGHTLY LARGER AND HEAVIER THAN THE KIT LENS, I FIND IT MORE CONVENIENT TO LEAVE ON THE CAMERA ALL THE TIME. ALTHOUGH I HAVEN'T USED THE TELE MUCH IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING PRETTY WELL IN MACRO ZOOMING IN TO ABOUT 24 INCHES AND GETTING SHARP RESULTS.
AM NOT SORRY I SPENT THE EXTRA MONEY.

Very goog lens. You've not to change each time between two lenses, so less problem vith dust and you are always ready to shoot.

I bought this lens for my Olympus E 500 around 6 months ago. I was looking for a tele photo lens in an affrodable price. This is a 10X Zoom lens which in the ideal conditions works extremly good!

This lens is ideal for landscapes shoots, sports and low light scenes. For low light scenes I would recomend to use a tripod. The lens is quite heavy for it's size so maybe after a while your neck will feel tired.

This lens is not good for macro shots... or at least I haven't found the way to use it for macro shots yet.

Other than that, I would say this lens is really good.

This is my go to lens I almost never take it off of my camera. I have great clarity and no chromatic or optical aberrations the range of field is great. I can not say enough about this lens.


4 out of 5 stars Great Zoom lens, ideal for daylight or bright light scenes   February 18, 2008

I've used this for about a month now and so far I've been quite pleased with the performance of this lens. Other than the impressive zoom, there really isn't anything very impressive about the lens. The F3.5 falls off very quickly to F5.1 at about 50mm, which means the lens is overall pretty slow. Size-wise, the lens is quite compact, but not as light as I thought it would be. The lens is pretty heavy as compared to the kit lens (although this is understandable). However, I do find myself using this lens less often as compared to the kit lens especially because of the weight. The lens works really, really well in daylight and produces some stunning results, but I would definitely not recommend this for too much night scene photography. I'm contemplating the 18-50mm F2.8 Sigma which does seem like a great night scene lens.
