The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Compact, lightweight, price under 400 with cashback or used
Cons:In particular the maximum aperture, but also the continuous autofocus
Opinion:At the price of 389 euros (new with cashback) you can't ask for too much: I liked the lens, but it should be taken aware of the limitations it has. It can be used with peace of mind during your excursions, given its lightness and compactness, in situations of excellent light. It remains sharp up to about 200mm at maximum aperture, then it starts to lose detail and you have to close one stop, being careful with the times (which with this lens are often low if you don't want to raise the ISO). If you want to use it for photos of medium-large fauna, I think you can try as long as you stay at least within 40-50 meters to maintain detail (which is often not possible during normal excursions). As for the autofocus with E-M1 Mark III, S-AF is fine, C-AF is difficult to use: compared to the traditional continuous, I was better off with the C-AF+TR with the sensitivity set to -2 for birdlife. However, the use of the monopod / tripod is highly recommended, even if it makes the portability of the lens useless
Opinion:For the price you find it, especially in the second-hand world, it is in my opinion an excellent compromise to have a nice long focal length zoom with practically zero weights and dimensions. Unfortunately, it is not a tropicalized lens and it is rather dark at the end of the stroke (6.7). The fact that it is dark for me is not a big problem since the camera stabilizes very well, of course, a little more brightness did not hurt. Very sharp even at maximum apertures (it gives its best anyway with a closing stop, like almost all lenses). I consider it a good lens, especially for those more naturalistic photographs where you need mm. I would say that in principle it has an excellent quality price
Opinion:I took it back years later. It is a very light lens for its range and the construction in my opinion is satisfactory. I had sold it because due to my inexperience I had not realized that using a 600mm equivalent is not obvious. The stabilizer of the e-m10 mk1 could not prevent the shake. Even with the gx7 it is difficult. While with the g90, thanks to the best stabilizer, an excellent grip, an excellent viewfinder, a fast AF, ...., the percentage of good shots has risen a lot, resulting sharp even at 300mm at TA.
Pros:Compactness with respect to the focal lengths reached; Lightness; Fluidity of use; Yield compared to cost; Sharpness at TA and beyond;
Cons:Resistance of somewhat delicate materials (not the construction) Absence of tropicalization; Slightly dark towards the end (6.7); 75 or 150mm with MTF factor limits a little the use as a handyman;
Opinion:Taken new on offer + cashback, Polyphoto Italia, at a laughable price compared to any other 150-600mm on the market. Of course, we talk about equivalence and in itself the aperture values are not those of a PRO lens, but thanks to the stabilization of the Om-1 (and MFT) in general it is an excellent superzoom lens, with reduced size and weight, easy to wear in accompaniment to another main lens, perhaps in the range 12-60. Despite the relative "buiety", the photographic yield such as colors, sharpness and three-dimensionality is good, almost excellent if related to the cost. The autofocus is a slower hair than PRO lenses, but absolutely effective in catching, even at 300mm. Too bad there is a lack of tropicalization and, above all, that plastics are slightly fragile and are easily marked. Despite this, the construction and the mechanism seem very well done. Personal mark: 7/8
Cons:It suffers from bright light resulting in loss of detail. Maximum focal length not very sharp. Not tropicalized.
Opinion:A good goal, much more than what people are professing. Definitely usable on almost the entire focal length, obviously trying to pay attention to the shake and timing. It is a light lens, perhaps even too much, so you have to be especially careful when shooting. I noticed a loss of detail on particularly sunny days, with lots of light, where it tends to knead a little, but otherwise I highly recommend it.
