Product is just what I wanted and expected. It works with my E-Volt 500 as advertised
GET IT WHILE U CAN May 13, 2008
Well it is my time to say how good or bad. Well first auto focus is fast, 3.5 is bright enough, 4.5 is faster than the kit lens. Image quality is great all through the focal length, super sharp at 60 to 90 mm with tripod. I got this for my E510 at Cameta Camera for only $129.
I was worried to get this from Cameta Camera because of the price but after a few weeks of wondering I just bought it from them. It came well packed with front & rear caps + lens hood in good bubble wrap, thanks Cameta Camera I will buy from you again. Soon I will get the 70 to 300mm.
Factory demo EXCELLENT CONDITION. Works like new I have photo to prove it.
PROS
Fast auto focus
Very sharp images
Large hood for blocking excess light
Reasonable weight
(Metal mount) better than hard plastic
Smooth & firm zoom.
CONS
Not so good in low light conditions & night
Front barrel rotates for focus not good for circular polarized
Minimum focus distance too long 1.5m.
Over all a wise choice and must have lens, with Olympus Cameras IS system I wouldn't worry too much about a tripod for daytime use.
Excellent Product and Service May 11, 2008

I have a E-510 and bought this lens, because I frequently shoot in the shade of trees and reeds and want the extra stop of light (f3.5-4.5 vs f4.0-5.6) this lens offers when zoomed all the way out (150mm) over the current Olympus kit 40-150mm and also because its being offered at closeout prices.
Comparing it to the current 410/510 kit 40-150mm, it is a bigger, heavier lens (not twice the size but maybe 1.5 times the size and probably the weight as well). It feels and looks like the construction was more expensive on it than the current kit lens (probably why they're not making these anymore). Adorama packed it very well. If you're looking for a economical 40-150mm or want that extra stop of light out at 150mm over your 410/510 kit 40-150mm, this is a great deal. I doubt they'll be available much longer - judging by the price. Recommended.

Pro:
* Great range
* Light
* Sharp
* Came as part of a kit
Con:
* f/4.5 on the long end
As mentioned this lens came with a kit along with the 14-45 f/3.5-5.6. I've used it for portraits, landscapes, macro (with the EX-25), and some sports. It balcances well with the E-300 and is quite easy to lug around. With the EX-25 all focal lengths were usable unlike with the 14-45 which only works at 45mm. One note is plan on stopping down and using manual focus with the EX-25 for best results. It's a little slow on the long end so it's not the best shooting sports in dark conditions, but in daylight conditions it posed no problems.
