Cons:Average output of kit lenses, no lens hood, electric zoom consumes battery
Opinion:Looking for a very compact compact:-) that did not make me lose too much in quality and still allow me to have interchangeable optics as on the SLR I took a kit OM D 10 Mark II inclusive of this lens. The result is achieved, camera and lens mounted you put them anywhere, not in a pocket but in a normal pocket or in a pouch without problems. The optical performance of the lens is sufficient, in the average of the kit optics and it really allows you to walk without weights and clutter. Closing the diaphragm a lot the sharpness is good, otherwise the images are always a bit mixed, especially at the longest focal length. In short, a perspective from which not to expect much and to replace quickly with something better if you are willing to give up the ultra compactness of the Camera + lens set. A note on the zoom drive. It is electrically assisted and the ring on the optic does not rotate completely but behaves as if two buttons are assembled: turning it lightly on one side goes in tele, rotating it slightly on the other goes in wide angle. In essence you can zoom manually but the displacement of the lenses is carried out by the electric motor with consequent energy consumption. The automatic MAF is pretty fast. The stabilization is entrusted to the sensor in the machine body. In conclusion A view that I do not recommend to buy alone, better to take something else. If you take the camera in kit then it is highly recommended because you would buy a really compact system and overall acceptable quality.
Pros:More compact than a fixed lens! Bright enough to be a 3.5-5.6, coupled to the em10 or em5 Pocket machine
Cons:Extends a lot of on (but it is inevitable for the type of goal), has an absurd tendency to balance white towards the gray/beige even under strong sunlight
Opinion:Great lens, it was the first of my fed m43 Kit, and unlike other, a lens that won't sell. WINS hands down on any 18-55 of march more noble, for clarity and compactness. MAF fast enough even in low light, allowed me to take 2 seconds too Freehand into town in the dark by grabbing the moving objects in a precise and clean, I didn't have a real 1:1 comparison but the MAF I think faster than the 12-40 PRO (which is pa ten of my Kit). As quoted in against, pity the absurd tendency to balance white towards the gray/beige even under strong sunlight, nothing irreparable provided you shoot in RAW.
Cons:In its price range and considered the price, no one!
Opinion:I confirm what was said by the other reviewers, considering the price and compactness the quality is more than adequate! RnAdd that the slowness of the zoom can be exceeded by setting the speed to "high" in the appropriate menu: rnrnMenu -> Utility -> Electronic Zoom Speed -> Still Picture / Movie -> Low / Normal / High
Opinion:A good Olympus lens, certainly not excellent (it's a kit lens) but that knows its stuff. Its size is practically nil (it is a pancake) combined with its lightness makes a machine like the OMD M10 practically a compact, which can be in a simple baby carrier. The sharpness is good (especially at 14 mm) and can give beautiful images especially outdoors. To be a kit lens is not bad, especially if you consider its size and weight. Personally, I use it widely in the mountains and everywhere I want a car so light that I forget it. I recommend buying, especially if in a kit.
Opinion:If we consider that is a kit lens, ultra-portable, ultra-lightweight, it is an objective optically good, equal to the APS-C SLR kit for entry-level / midrange. If we want to compare to a fixed or an optical PRO, does not compare. If it's in the kit is a recommended optics, especially for video. If you want to take it on its own, it is not recommended. It is clear from f1: 3.5 to f1: 5.6 over the image pulp, compared to CaNikon kit niditissimo.rn
Pros:Compact size, aesthetics (if it's a pro), good optical quality
Cons:slow zoom
Opinion:I had 14-42 RII, then sold to move to 14-150 (I maintain), I decided to buy the 14-42 EZ outputs "lightweight / compact" and, regardless of whether it is aesthetically perfect for M10 and even if the aesthetic is not the photo, the eye wants its part ... rnNell'uso, however, despite the good optical quality (in my opinion just below the RII), the real penalty is the slowness of the impressive power zoom, if you do not take time to do the problem, but if you want to seize the moment you end ..... rn
Pros:Compactness, weight, size and color quality in general.
Cons:There is no lens hood, slow zoom.
Opinion:I own the Olympus EM10 and serial I chose this goal, I have to say I was positively surprised by the overall quality of the picture, also a 3x zoom into such a small space is to ammirare.rnSecondo me is a goal to have, always carry with you, and almost you do not know what you have so you pocket, for amateur photos of a certain level recommend it, however, if one looks for something professional well have to go through another ..
Pros:It made really good, compact and lightweight, blow up
Cons:motorization slightly slow, no lens hood can.
Opinion:I must say that I took this view in a kit with the Oly10, that is, only pro, really good, very small and with a good yield, if you really want the bother I can say it's just a little slow the motorizazione. A hood could be handy in some cases but I do not think is applicable, that is, optical Highly recommended for the trip or for those who want a nice small handyman.
Cons:poor sharpness, gives the best of himself outside only well-lit
Opinion:I had it in kit with OMD EM10, if I could go back I would not have ever taken. I think is the most scarce, as yield, between all the objectives Oly, better to invest on other goals: a few bright or some fixed lens-end pro. If you want to appreciate the quality of your OMD EM10, unless you have few claims, is not the choice that is right for you.
Pros:Compact and lightweight finish makes a tutt 'one with the M10
Cons:Zoom ring too close to that of maf, when making zooming if you strike the ring maf activates the 'magnification and you lose the' shot, I would have liked a lower resistance of the zoom ring, no hood
Opinion:Rating 6 for clarity and for the rest of the optical performance, valuable to build a very compact system, the machine goes into a pocket, but if you claim some 'quality must choose another, loses much against the 14-42 Panasonic nothing of that modest overall suffer from flare and becomes low in contrast against the light, I expected more from Oly
Pros:very compact, focal length good enough if we look compact, motorized zoom for iVideo, three aspherical lenses, manual focus, good minimum distance of focus, in overall good quality
Cons:no hood, no aperture scale.
Opinion:I personally took this zoom lens to its compactness, certainly not to the levels of the most renowned professional zoom, but mounted on E.M5 his work he does, then his real death is the Pen, in my long hikes in the mountains I appreciate very much, but even when they are in town to do some shooting street stands out shortly.
