Pros & Cons
Pros
The lens is very sharp throughout all focal lengths, and can be used without hesitation at the widest aperture without stopping down. While not as sharp at the long end as the olympus 300mm f/4 prime, it's much lighter and transportable-- that is, it ... Read More
The only negative about this lens is it doesn’t come with a hood, but no olympus lenses seem to, so it’s not really a deal breaker. Highly recommended. Thanks for the great product and excellent service amazon.
Camera raw by adobe is a powerful tool and it can change very much the look of your photos. Practically negligible chromatic aberration and distortion. Good focusing and surround blurring at shorter distances. High iso may be used to compensate for th... Read More
This little gem is small enough and light enough that she takes it with her all of the time. This lens is really extraordinary especially given the low cost comparatively speaking. I also like the fact that the lens is light enough to carry for a long... Read More
The size of this lens is a phenomenal advantage over dslr s. Handling is good, while hand-holding the lens is not an issue. If you like taking your shots handheld this is the perfect sized zoom lens.
Cons
The other issue i have with this lens is it * the life and vibrancy out of a subject. Sports photography keep it in the bag!
Highlights
Quality
From the first time i put this lens on my camera i was impressed with the zoom and the quality of the photos
Functional as described and i am delighted with the transaction
You cant take a picture with the camera you left at home
Towards the evening in low sun light it struggled to auto focus and the picture quality degraded
Price
Overall this is a fine lens when you consider price
The lens is well built given focal length range aperture and price
Olympus doesnt give you a hood which is not very kind considering that it would cost pennies to them and doing so they forced u... Read More
Shipping
I was very disappointed with the shipping being two days later than promised but i will tell you this lens is worth the wait and the price
As for af it is silent and fast enough for my style
The lens was a couple days late arriving despite the prime two day shipping promise because it was shipped to the wrong state
Packaging/appearance
Ive used the manfrotto amica 20 bag to hold it along with a couple of other small lenses making it easy to grab on the way out of the door
Competitiveness
Its one of the best qualityand pro one
I use my camera in a more sophisticated manner than most amateur photographers as a professional
It’s no different than using a 600mm lens on a full frame camera
It fits mine but they are both sirui products so perhaps there is a difference with others i dont know
