A great all purpose lens. It is fast and takes tack sharp pictures. I use it on both the E-5 and the E-620. By far one of my favorite lens. Wish I had purchased this a long time ago!

I purchased this lens before the 12-40mm lens was released to have a walk around lens for my OM-D E-M1. The zoom range and f- stop combination is ideal for most of my photography, landscapes and informal portraits. The one star reduction is for autofocus.

I started with the OM 2 film camera and have never looked back. Coupled with the E5 and and the 2.8 50-200 SD ED lens, this lens helps to cover a broad range. Olympus has consistently produced good glass and this lens is no exception. Even the 2 kit lens that came with my E 520 produce good results.

Took an age to find one of these at a reasonable price. Not disappointed. Excellent, free, next day delivery.
