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.
Opinion:Bought at 150 euros to complete a kit for the Olympus OMDE10II I did not have many expectations, given the price and reviews. With this system I am not looking for the highest quality, only lightness and portability and I have to say that I got what I was looking for. For me the only negative note is the slow manual focus dial, in the sense that you have to turn a lot, you have to move a lot, it is not direct. For the rest, like plasticity, the toy effect, I do not consider them defects but characteristics that given the price I can not twist the nose.
Pros:Very light, good sharpness, cheap, holds well flare and ghost
Cons:All plastic, missing the lampshade
Opinion:I was amazed, I admit. It has a pleasantly unexpected yield. To hold it in its hand it looks (and is) a plastic object from which to claim little. It actually returns very sharp shots at any opening, even at 150mm it is still well defined. It holds up the backlights very well and does not suffer from flare or ghost. It is very light and very compact, so it never misses from the backpack or bag. The only defect, but very marginal, is given by a slight chromatic aberration at the edges in case of strong contrasts. Unfortunately, there is no lampshade that costs as a percentage at the price of the lens a disproportionate! I still have some doubts about the durability, being also the plastic bayonet, but at the cost of less than 150 euros for a new one, surely in case it breaks I will buy another one!

Pros:It weighs little, cheap, good sharpness
Cons:Delicate to use
Opinion:His nickname, Plastic Fantastic, says it all; it's perfect for light mountain rides to pair with a wide angle; moreover, although the reproduction ratio does not make him think, he does very well in the pseudo-macro; love at first sight, but lasting even after almost a year of use; I did not find particularly hard the dial of the zoom, if not at the beginning, perhaps because of some scrap in the barrel joints
Pros:Value for money. Good definition. Compactness and lightness.
Cons:It lacks the lens hood. For what it costs has no other flaws.
Opinion: Ideal focal length to be joined to a 12-40 or 12-35 maybe bright. I bought it again at €150. I have to say I was surprised by the sharpness at full aperture and at all focal lengths. Taking into account the size and lightness is a very good goal. Combined with the 12-40 Pro cover the focal 24-300 equivalents. The plastic bayonet does not affect the optical quality, just treat it with regard. In short, very good judgement if you know what to expect from a little object like this.
