Provides good reach for distant objects. Clear images with no chromatic distortion. Not great for photos of the moon or small objects at great distances. For shooting at great distances, I recommend spending the extra money and getting an 80-300mm lens from the same manufacturer.

If you spend money on digital SLR camera, you should purchase lens to go with it. It is major investment for the camera body, but the lens make the huge difference for the pictures. This lens is compact and durable. I like the lens a lot, the only complaint is the lens act slowly under low light.

Love it. Great value for cost. Took great pictures on vacation as we drove cross country.

Clear; crisp pictures

Olympus has introduced a new medium-range zoom lens specifically

The Zuiko Digital 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 lens was launched at the end of 2006 and is usually offered in twin-lens kits with Olympus DSLR cameras. Claimed as the smallest and lightest in its class, it fulfils the promises of the Four Thirds System in both respects.
