Pros: Negligible price in used cars

Cons: None taking into account that it was a kit optics and that it is 20 years old

Opinion: Buying a used E-510 I was given this lens supplied. It was a kit lens therefore made just to complete a camera body for sale. It does not make you cry out for a miracle but it does its duty for better or worse. I don't find it very sharp, in fact I had to work on it a little bit in PP (just a little touch-up). If I had to give him a grade? 75/100. I use it mainly with manual focus.

Pros: Small, light, versatile, ideal excursion for every occasion. Also good sharpness.

Cons: No one saw the price.

Opinion: Coupled with the E-410, which I'm still using, I find it perfect in every situation, I use it for 90% of the photos! Initially, I underestimated a lot, however I must say that I use it more and more I'm happy, gives me the photo really interesting and well done! Flaw of brightness, he had a little 'more would really be the top, but in relation to the price, size and weight, I would say that is an excellent goal.

Pros: Small, lightweight, sharpness ok

Cons: no, it's perfect for what it costs.

Opinion: As a user Oly I took it in and the coupled-410, and I must say that as a lens is not too bad. returns and nice photos with a sharpness very good. The only drawback is perhaps the fact that it is not super bright, but if we consider that even new costs 100 euro I would say that you can stand. Like all Zuiko lenses is optimized for the 4/3, is very light and diminutive size, combined with E-410 or E-620 (I have now) is really compact!
