I really like it very much I have to use on vaction and my son events.

Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Strong Construction

Its worth it

Wonderful for Macro photography with a nice clear brightness

Less sharpness than other Lens I have tried out

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.

This 18-180mm lens from Olympus costs around ￡420 and is a compact super-zoom, perfect for travelling light. Apart from the 10x zoom range appealing to those who aren't comfortable changing lenses, the close focus distance should allow for frame filling close-up shots too.

Good resolution at the shorter end; Light weight; Compact

Flare control; Barrel distortion at 18mm

My wife uses this lens on her Olympus E-520 and likes it very much. It covers a nice range and is great for general photography which we do most of the time. Only small drawback is 18 mm is a little narrower than we would prefer but definately not a deal breaker.

Nice light general purpose vacation lens

It would be nice at 14mm on the wide end
