 4/3rds long telephoto August 30, 2008
I've had this lens a bit over a month and already taken great photos. It's short, lightweight, sharp, inexpensive, a bit slow on the focus, and not quite as fast as some.
Combined with an Olympus IS system, you get an equivalent 600mm reach that is (with practice) hand- holdable in most situations. Try that with any other lens! I'm not saying it can't be beaten, but for the price and the weight/size, it's a remarkably great piece of glass!
Great value for the money August 29, 2008
I just bought this lens a few weeks back. I love it. Check out my test pictures at

great lens
yes it searches for focus in low light or low contrast
but it is awesome in all other situations
also a great lens for close up macro type photography=
as long as you can get back 3 ft you can zoom all the way in!
i have seen colors and patterns on insects I never ever would have known were there
pretty amazing macro ability
very fun nature lens
i do often hand focus at the end as the depth of field isn't great.
you want the eyes of birds etc to be sharp , and I can end up
with the tail etc in focus and the eyes soft if you do automatic focus
with this in mind it is awesome and I've also taken a number of
birds on the wing that have come out great
love it with the E3
am considering the 50-200 now that the price is coming down just
for the low light in the woods type shots
excellent highly recommended
also I use it almost exclusively handheld with the E3
and often full telephoto- no problem!!
oh and did I mention the price?
70-300 yes!
PS also Amazon is great to deal with- i ordered direct
