this is a very nice lens, good quality,well made and tough. It has a switch to go from manual to auto focus well placed at front of lens, right at focus ring only few draw backs to this lens is it's heavy( try using high speed and large aperture for best result ) and if you add a filter it has some trouble focusing, other wise good close up features clear sharp photos all in all a very good lens to take you to the next level of your photography
I'm new to photography,having just purchased a double lens kitted E410 olympus I wanted to experiment with a new toy,took it to spain and got some very pleasing shots using mono-pod,Found it difficult to keep steady without but that's me not the weight lol, very smooth mechanism,looks and feels top quality, I'm delighted,so go on,you know you want to.

I bought this zoom lens as I am an amateur photographer and the original lens was not powerfull enough. This lens is compact and lightweight and the zoom is fantastic and has auto or manual focus functions, can't really see any downside to this apart from carrying two lenses which is expected when more close up photos.
I have not used this lens much since I bought it but the results I have achieved so far have been satisfactory, I really need more experience using it before I can do a proper review but up to now I am pleased with it.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Superb lens - stop down one stop for fantastic edge-to-edge sharpness. Makes a fairly heavy combination on my E-3 but well worth the effort!
