If you don't need a long lens for low light situations, for the money, this is a great lens. Quality fast lenses of this focal length cost as much as a small car. Focusing is generally pretty good, though sometimes needs a couple if shots at it under some conditions. The manual focus ring is nicely weighted. Zoom ring is just slightly sticky when using small movement to get framing just right but not a big issue. Image stabilisation works very well making sharp handheld shots at full focal length very doable. A fab lens for the money, no serious issues to moan about, great value.

I bought this to give me a lens with more reach than my Olympus 40-150 with 1.4 Extender. Find that it zooms the opposite way to Olympus irritating but getting used to it. It’s relatively slow and not that good in low light. Trying to get to love it.

This is a very good lens in almost all respects. The manual focus is a bit stiff but the auto is so good I never use manual anyway. On a 4/3 camera, hand held, antishake on - the lens can pull in very clean images even in stiff winds. I love it.

800mm equivalent in a moderate size. Anti shake in-lens and some cameras. Compatible with all M4/3 cameras. Very sharp images. Fast focus with my cameras. This was good value as a second hand lens. Brand new it is pricey but you still get a lot of quality for the money Tripod mount not really good enough for the job. Weird zoom opposite rotation to every other lens I have..

It's only a short review right now as I've only had the lens a couple of weeks. The images are sharp enough for a lens in this price bracket and the image stabilisation is pretty magnificent paired with the G9's in camera stabilisation. My only gripe at this time is that zoom stiffness!! It's not a deal breaker because the images and the reach are so good... It's not even annoying, it's just a little "hmmm", if you know what I mean.?? All in all a fantastic lens though!!
