Pros: Lightweight, small, very cheap and reliable; sharp enough and in any case if you know how to use it work very well

Cons: All plastic even when excellently assembled

Opinion: I use it worthily on my Leica Digilux tre for which I also own the 14-50 Leica vario Elmar and the 25/1,4 Summilux Leica. In addition I also have the Elmarit 135/2.8 R with original 4:3 mount. However, the 135, which becomes a 270, needs manual focus which, however, on the Digilux three is quite laborious and cannot always be perfect. I then use the Olympus 40-150 which gives me decent results but above all in autofocus which for a third lens is not little, and also the focal length goes up to 300 mm. The Olympus then thinks 200 g against the 750 g of the 135 Leica, and frankly it never disappoints. For what it costs (30€) the grade is 10/10

Pros: Compact, good zoom range, price

Cons: is part of the kit, not among the best optics provided by Olympus

Opinion: I use it for years with the E-410. Coupled with the 14-42 is the 'standard optical sold in kit. Clearly it is exceeded by more optical performance but more expensive. I continue to use it because in a world of lens coating, camera bodies fiction is nice to have an old car and a lens that does not betray you ever! Combined with the E-410 becomes a zoom by almost 300mm, good in many situations. I take it for walks where other foreign car I would become cumbersome and try shots, fired at random could be embarrassing. NON never betrays.
