Amazing and Stunning Photo's in the entire zoom range!! At F2.0, the pictures are outstanding. The only weak point is that it is not as fast to focus lock in very low light as 12-60mm.

Excellent optics throughout all apertures and focal lengths. Silky smooth bokeh for elegant portraits. Excellent design with great balance and tactile zoom/focus rings. Fast, silent and accurate AF with SWD motor. Excellent weatherseal, able to repel flowing tap water.

- super sharp & flawless optics; - silky bokeh; - f2 is wonderful; - superfast AF; - built tough

- a bit dodgy AF in low light

I purchased this lens as an upgrade to ZD 12-60mm. While 12-60 is really a great lens, I found that I'm not using it much at long end and it's just f2.8-4, while 14-35mm is a constant f2.0 The images it produces along with the E-5 are sublime, incredibly detailed throughout the frame and at all...

This is an awesome lens however this price is more than what they are asking at camera stores, I would expect an Overstock product to be less expensive. But to anyone thinking about purchasing this lens it's great and it stays on my camera most of the time. It is a heavy lens though.

I bought this lens about six months ago and was verydisappointed with the performance of the auto-focus at wide apertures. It tended to hunt and then expose when not properly focussed with my E3 so I have not used it much, even thought the images produced (with manual over-ride) were startling -...

Bright; Fast auto-focus; Sharp

only fits 4/3 rd system cameras

Olympus allowed me to borrow this lens on a recent photographic workshop in Spain. All I can say is WOW! Terrific for night and low light shooting, ultra fast focusing, wonderful bokeh.

It is absolutely perfect. I love the lens. Yes it is big, both in size and performance. I'm glad I have it and would do it again in a heart beat. Build quality and picture quality are just what I wanted and expected.

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Heavy; Pricey

The lens, whilst not small,is not oversized. It's easy to carry and does not make the camera too bulky. I use the lens principally for taking street-portrait shots for a local paper. It focusses quickly and you can trust the image to be sharp.

My E3 body came with the Zuiko 12-60mm lens, and I couldn't get over the quality of the pictures from that. It's a great lens, with a good focal length, capable of taking stunning pictures. When I bought my E5 body, I looked at this 14-35mm lens.
