This is being used on a Pen F with a MMF-2 adapter. Optically, it's very good. Autofocus is slower than the real micro 4/3s lenses, price was right and I usually manually focus anyway. The Pen F has some focus aids which really help and it's hardly slower than waiting for the autofocus to settle. All of the 4/3s adapted lenses have this problem with the micro 4/3s cameras I have, not unexpected. This particular item wasn't used heavily, wasn't in new condition but very good cosmetically, no scratches or dents but a little dinge on the operating rings that cleaned off. Everything operates smoothly and wasn't loose. It's shorter and lighter than the adapted Nikkors I was previously using in that focal length range.

Pros: -Beautiful, tiny, and light -300mm equivalent on Micro Four Thirds bodies -Pretty sharp throughout the zoom range; even sharper if you tinker with sharpening in the raw files -Focus is very quick -It can do beautiful macros, as it is close-focusing Cons: -You have to buy the hood separately -It has a relatively dim aperture at 150mm, requiring high ISO or slow shutter in dim light

Great lens... very sharp and bright given the focal length range it covers. I use it with an adapter on micro four thirds and the autofocus is slow.... but i've been able to squeeze some very nice pics out of it that would be gard to take with a dimmer lens... anyway any af would be faster than my manual af .. which btw in this lens is nice even when it is electronic instead of manual. I also got the 14-54... so i have uninterrupted 14-150mm range with max apperture of f2.5 to f4.5...imposible with native mft lenses
This is the perfect long zoom for the occasional user. It is light and inexpensive, but produces very serviceable results. It is not fast, but is fine for nature photography. You do not need a massive tripod. I use it with an OMD E-1 with an adapter for micro 4/3.

I bought this lens in a used state (80-89% of original condition) and have been super happy with it. I hadn’t used my Olympus Evolt 510 DSLR in 5+ years, but decided to get some practice prior to a trip at a Big Bend at the end of May. I quickly realized the stock 15-42mm lens was going to limit me quite a bit, so I added this lens for more zoom power. It’s been great and I’m happy with the additional range it provides me. Zero complaints.
