Pros: Decent sharpness. Compact. Well built. Good optical performance. Very good stabilizer.

Cons: For such size and price, none. For more brightness, there is a PanaLeica version, that costs and weights about triple.

Opinion: Was very surprised with this lens, Mk II. Expected meh, yet got decent and practical usable lens. I like rubber grips, that used to be on older Lumix lenses for more tactile feel, and plastic body keeps weight low. Build quality is good, tight, zooming is easy and Iens creep none in my experience. I like the range. I have used it in studio setup and got pleasant, tack sharp portraits with good contrast and nice colors. For nature walks, it fits nicely as well, reach is usable for casual animal shooting and low weight wont slow you down. There is some controversy about this lens, that might be coming from sample variation. If your sharpness is lacking, try getting another copy. Easily recommended when looking for light and flexible m4/3 telephoto setup.

Pros: Compact size, sturdy, good quality and very good stabilization

Cons: Not excellent brightness, but for the price it costs you can't expect more

Opinion: Excellent micro 4/3 mount lens to be used as a non-professional specialist lens for sports and wildlife photos. It renders well as image quality and the colors are beautiful and saturated, fast autofocus, for those who do not want to buy professional telephoto that cost 3-4 times as much it is a very valid choice. Definitely recommended

Pros: Solid. Compact and lightweight. optical stabilizer.

Cons: Some aberration to the minimum focal length. No tropicalization. reduced brightness.

Opinion: Good price-performance ratio. All in all, an all-purpose zoom to take on trips. Although not at the top of the optical quality, it is ideal for making videos using a small tripod or landscapes or portraits caught on the fly. As professional telephoto zoom lens is a good buy. Really recommended if you want to save money compared to much more costose.rn optics
