Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-150mm f/4.0-5.6 Zoom Lens (Micro Four Thirds)

Comments about Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-150mm f/4.0-5.6 Zoom Lens (Micro Four Thirds):

I use this lens for almost all my exterior shots. Except in low-light situations, I also find it extremely useful for indoor work such as parties. The most important features of this lens include its outstanding sharpness, its light weight and its small size. Combine this lens with a few high speed single focal length lenses and you have an ideal light weight kit for virtually all eventualities. Once you own this lens, you will put your OM-D kit lenses on the shelf.

The major drawback of this lens is that it is not especially suited to sports photography, because its max aperture does not permit sufficient shutter speed or reliable focus tracking.

Excellent lens for a large range of applications. Great for travel. If you only want to carry one lens when you travel this is a perfect lens.

I was frustrated having to change lens with the original Olympus omd-em5 kit , 14-42 and 40-150 mm . The new lens has solved the issue and I have used it this weekend with stunning results . The servive from B&H was great and the lens arrived 2days before the expected date.

I purchased this for my Panasonic Lumix GX1 and have not been disappointed. Since I was interested in keeping my camera light weight it is perfect as it is less than half the weight of the Pansonic 14-140. I am amazed at the detail showing up in my pictues even some taken through a car window traveling the highway. The feel and length of the lens take a little getting used to but it didn't take me long especially since I love the results.

Used for vacation lens on E-PL2
Great range - don't have to change lenses
Some shadowing in corners at wide angle

This is the perfect travel lens. Good quality photos and extremely versatile. The zoom range has turned out to be very useful. Plus it looks great on the OM-D.

Comments about Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-150mm f/4.0-5.6 Zoom Lens (Micro Four Thirds):

I really like Olympus/Zuiko glass on my cameras in general. Having purchased the om em5 I wanted a lens similar to my 18-180 mm on my e5. The 14-150 mm has been a perfect fit for me. I don't like to change lenses and carry a lot of glass with me on my travels so I love the flexibility and versality of this single lens. For my purposes it is fast and sharp. Also Olympus has nice edge to edge clarity with no vignetting like I see on my sonya77 pictures. Since it is so light and little I think people say it feels cheap but I don't agree with that based on my pictures. It captures a nice picture out wide or zoomed in. I also like the tension and there's no creep. My other Olympus glass has survived a lot of wear and tear. I am hoping for the same durability but too soon to tell.

I am a photo enthusiast and also a full time RVer so all I do is travel. I heard this is a good travel lens so even though I was skeptical of such a super zoom I tried it for the sake of making my hikes easier and to cut down on all the lens changing. This lens surpassed my expectations and I find it a joy to use. Some may say it is soft zoomed in all the way, but I am pleased. Maybe I am not as critical as some people, but it captures the photos I want.

This lens pretty much never comes off my Olympus EM-5 camera now. It is a great all around lens, No zoom creep, sharp and it is incredible small for teh focal length. Focus is fast. It is a great outdoor lens.

This is the first changeable lens I bought for my GF1 to cover the wide to telephoto room except the bundle 20mm/F1.7 one. It is extra-lightweight to adjust and use while traveling without big pack.

I do like its performance under warm and bright weather.

Dark lens (F4.0-5.6), constructed out of plastic, and the widest angle on it is a so-so 28mm equivalent. I guess if you really want a "super" zoom lens for your MFT camera, it's either this one or the 14-140mm Panny zoom, there is nothing else out there, really.

i just bought this lens with the new VF3 together, it works pretty good at the focal length like up to 100mm
its still reasonable in 150mm with good light.
weight is light, after i put this on, this let me thinking of trade off the 9 - 18mm.

This was paired with an Oympus Pen Ep-3 Micro 4/3ds camera that initially came with a 17mm lens. My mother has always been a keen wildlife photographer and she turned 73 this year. She still goes on Safari, but the weight of the camera system was getting to her hands. So I gifted her a Pen system with this as her zoom lens.
She has almost always used Cameras with interchangeable and for decades she used Minolta and Nikon SLRs. She is very happy with the size and weight of the camera lens. She feels its not too bulky for the Pen 3 camera either. She wishes it was faster and could focus better in low light situations which can sometimes gets exasperating for her. But by her own admission, this lens has allowed her to just use a camera more as it is not a physical burden.

Purchased this lens for my PEN2 just before our 2 week trip to Ireland. I was considering the 14 - 54mm II because of all the positive reviews; but after talking to an Olympus tech repon the phone about other lenses as well, I chose the 14-150 mm and I'm so glad I did. It performed admirably at all focal lengths providing excellent detail of all the 2000+ photos I took. Having an equivalent 35mm range of 28-300mm served all my needs for this trip. I had the camera either in Program mode or Shutter priority ( 500th sec ), auto white balance & ISO and all the pictures came out clear with true to life color reproduction. The lens had minimal issues with focusing and only hunted occasionally at maximum focal lengths when there was not enough contrast. Focusing speed was the norm for the PEN2 which isn't the quickest but serves most of my needs since my photo interest is primarily landscapes. This lens also performed well in low light conditions where flash was not permitted. When using my Olympus FL36R flash to shoot the interiors of our various accomodations, this lens performed admirably when I just let the flash do its thing or when I adjusted the output due to distance and interior lighting conditions.The lens is well made, no lens creep, and feels good ergonomically. I have the VF2 viewfinder which helps hold the camera steady especially when shooting at those longer focal lengths and also shooting from the coach (bus) when riding to your next tour location ( this is when I shot at 500th sec ). I purchased the B&W MRC F-Pro UV Haze filter for my lens and was pleased with the results. I am a B&W filter fan because of their quality & performance. As usual, I was pleased with placing my order through B&H. [...]I strongly recommend this lens.

Sharp, but that's where it ends. It is slow, really cheap plastic feel, total China-ware. I sent mine back, I would rather spend my money on some quality glass. In light of the old Olympus OM mount lenses, this is a step back.This could be a proper kit lens for less than $200, then it would leave people in the 'best bang for the buck' realm, and no one would complain. You get what you pay for. With a tag in excess of [$], this feeling is not there--just the louder than usual sound of the zoom ring turning.Seeing Panasonic, Leica and maybe soon Sigma in the micro 4/3 lens arena, Olympus simply has to do better. Get back the old shine!

I purchase this to replace the kit 14mm-42mm that came with the Olympus E-P2 and give me a single lense that would cover a good range for walking around. In 35mm format this covers 28-300 and very small and lightweight. So far the images are excellent.

Comments about Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-150mm f/4.0-5.6 Zoom Lens (Micro Four Thirds):

I love this lens - it replaces the two in the usual kit (14-42 and 40-150) with almost the same aperture. If it was a little faster and a little lighter, I'd give it five stars.
