Its worth it

Wonderful for Macro photography with a nice clear brightness

Less sharpness than other Lens I have tried out

The apature closes pretty fast once you start going above 30-40mm so you cross f4.0 pretty fast. In low lighting conditions, try to get closer instead of zooming into the subject as this will give you a bigger apature.

This lens make a great travel lens for those who don't wanna carry multiple lens on a trip; The zoom range is perfect for daily use; AutoFocus is quick; Image quality is great; I leave it on my camera at all times

Low lighting conditions can sometimes cause autofocus issues

I purchased this lens to save constantly haveing to swap from two smaller lenses which almost covered the same range as the 18-180. I am absolutely delighted with my purchase. It does all that I wanted to and although it has made my Olympus camera a little heavier I can live with that.

When I bought this lens I already had the 12-60mm and 70-300mm Zuiko digital lenses, both of which have better optical quality. But using that range means that I had to continually change lenses. The 18-180mm lens isn't as good optically, but it's not bad, and it's really convenient.

Took this as the single lens for a Saturday excursion. Got the close up of wild flowers and the mesa that was two miles distant. The wide range of focal length was great for 'Travel Mode' for vacation record pictures.

Consistent Output; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Strong Construction

With a 10x zoom range and a sub-￡200 price tag, what can we expect from this superzoom optic?

Robust handling

Power-driven MF
