I received the lens as a gift. The reach is lovely on this lens, 75-300mm (150-600mm=35mm), its sharp up to 200mm. The lens gets a bit soft at 300mm. The build is good, although I would like to see Olympus build lenses with internal zoom movement, meaning the lens overall length does not change.

Built; Reach and sharpness at up to 200mm

slow focus ; soft at 300mm

Slightly better cameras but otherwise, not much of an update - buy the iPhone 14 Pro or switch to Android instead

Better low-light photography, Slightly longer battery life, Action mode gives super stabilised video

The same performance as the iPhone 13, No Dynamic Island or Always-On display, 60Hz screen

Handling and features Performance Verdict Specification This super-telephoto zoom lens for Micro Four Thirds system cameras offers a 4x zoom range equivalent to a 150-600mm lens on a 35mm camera.

Compact size; Lightweight; Fast; silent autofocus; Resistant to flare; Excellent resolution between 75mm and 150mm

Lacklustre sharpness and high CA levels at 300mm; No lens hood supplied as standard

The iPhone 14 comes to market with the same launch price as the previous generation. At the same time, iPhone connoisseurs were more than disillusioned after the presentation of the new smartphone. Apple leaves large parts of the hardware unchanged and does not dare to change the design.

Top performance level despite last year's chip, Very high quality workmanship, Improved image and video quality, Excellent battery life

Hardly any innovations, Charging takes too long for 2022

A slight camera upgrade, new emergency features, and... not a whole lot else

Better selfie camera, Good battery life, Crash detection and satellite SOS are neat

It’s more like an iPhone 13S, Display is still 60Hz, eSIM transition will be easy for most but painful for some

It’s a great handset, but the improvements are so iterative that most of you will hardly notice what’s new.

Action mode offers truly superb video stabilization. eSIM makes it easy to switch phones (with other iPhones). Satellite SOS and Crash Detection add peace of mind.

Many of the specs remain the same as on the iPhone 13. Small battery gains. Photonic Engine isn’t as revolutionary as suggested.

Used this lens for just under a month to use om my EM10-II and found anything above 175mm is just too soft. So I returned it.

There aren't a lot of choices for a 300mm lens in the M4/3 world. I was a bit hesitant to purchase this lens because reviews said it was soft at 300mm. It is compared to the excellent sharpness it exhibits at shorter focal lengths.

All lenses are a compromise : cost, desired focal length, size & weight, IQ, speed, build quality, prime vs zoom, zoom range, etc. So the fair rating has to be how well did the lens meet my expectations as I integrated and balanced those attributes for my needs.

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.....
