Pros: Sharpness at all fl's , light, small , good IQ , good contrast ,

Cons: nothing ( especially given the price )

Opinion: They don't call it the plastic fantastic for nothing . A must have for any m4/3 kit . Pair it with a wider zoom like the pana 14-42 II and you're good to go for vacations/hiking/beach etc..Even portraits at > 100 mm Bought it used for 70 euros , wanted a long zoom for vacations ( I like the 40 to 100 mm fl a lot ) without breaking the bank . Absolutely blown away by the lens . As good if not better than my old 4/3 70-300 . Weighs nothing , with my Em5 ideal holiday combo . Highly recommended .

Pros: Sharp at all lengths (yes, even at 150mm), 300mm equivalent, economical, small, lightweight

Cons: All plastic, a bit dark, is history that those of olympus do not give you the hood, AF not really at the top

Opinion: Coupled with the 9-18, on two em10mkii bodies, they were my "all-rounder" targets. One for near and one for far. It's all plastic but it really weighs nothing and I've never had any problems (I even fell to the ground once and only the metal of the protective filter bent). A bit 'dark at 150mm, especially considering that you are shooting on m43 with all the problems that start at 1600 iso, but if there is light goes to god. I will say more: very often I came home with better photos of my friend with the 5Dmk3 and the 70-200 f2.8... Af is painful, but that can also be the body certainly not performing. I didn't take a thing on the fly if it stood still in the middle.

Pros: size and weight, excellent sharpness, cost

Cons: darkness and construction

Opinion: 80-300mm equivalent in less than 9cm and 200gr! As for the transportability and the cost leaves you speechless. Of course it's not metal, it's not a 2.8 etc... however, it is robust enough to digest many mistreatments and, shooting during the day, hardly goes into crisis due to the brightness. As for IQ there is nothing to say. Compared with the Olympus 45/1.8, at the same focal length, it returns virtually overlapping images. And the sharpness is not lacking even at maximum length. I do not know if there is homogeneity of copies, however, if all are like the one in my possession, you want to travel light, you do not make photographic hunting your purpose (for that there are the PRO Oly), it is categorically to have.

Pros:

Cons: Nothing, given the cost

Opinion: Bought new for 78 euros (miracle of a White box) he takes more than good photos. Not very bright, but with olympus bodies stabilized the move does not create many problems. Of course it makes an impression to hold something that looks like a plastic toy, but the results are impressive in relation to the price, nothing to envy to a 70-300 of my previous Sony kit paid about 10 times more. With little money I (at the moment) completed my newly purchased kit: M5 mark III with the 12-45 f4 pro (what optics). Even at full price you can not miss in an Olympus kit.

Pros: Cheap, light, great value for money

Cons: None for the cost. The only flaws found: the zooming ring is a bit hard at first and the lack of zoom scrolling block, seen scrolling externally.

Opinion: We tried Zuiko 40-150 because we were looking for a telephoto for our excursions. We preferred it to the brightest brother for a matter of price and especially weight. Paid 120th, weighs only 190 grams and measures 83mm (length) × 63.5mm (diameter). Great to have behind in the mountains for wildlife sighting! It takes up very little space in the backpack. It is not a very bright lens but, used in good light conditions, it makes very pleasant and pleasant shots. Difficult to use indoors if the light conditions are not good. The sharpness is great at 40mm and surprisingly good even at 150mm. We have not noticed any particular chromatic aberrations. However, nothing that cannot be easily corrected. We loved it. You can also get a nice bokeh when you shoot at 100/150mm. In short, there is nothing to be said given the cost of the objective. If we really want to be fiscal, the only flaws are the dial of the zooming is a bit harsh at the beginning and the lack of the zoom scrolling block, seen scrolling externally.
