 I'm not a pro, regular amateur photographer October 6, 2008
Its my first telephoto lens. On the beginning It wasn't easy to operate it but You must try few times with AF and MF to get use to it. On my first "telephoto" trip I've managed to shot few partridge'es and pictures come up really nice. Beside of focus problems I rate this lens quite high - its really nice for this money so I recommend it :)
Best buy ever October 2, 2008
Right now, I rate this buy like: the "best buy" I ever made. Great pictures, great lens. I'm thinking to add a 2x converter to my new collection and probably a Macro Lens....maybe 50mm or 35 mm. Zuiko products seem to be a great quality of products.
 Great value! But need to set to f8.0 or higher for best results. October 1, 2008
This lens is a great value for the money. Mine was about $310 including shipping. You really do need to stop this lens down to 7.1 or preferrably to 8.0 at the long end to get the most out of it. If you don't it is not the sharpest. I guess I got used to the kit lenses being so incredible even wide open that my expectations for this were a little higher. Still, for the money you really can't beat it considering it gives you an equivalent 600mm reach. Given that reach what other lens can you really buy for this kind of money even if only sharpest at f8.0 at the long end?

Rarely does a product exceed my expectations but this lens does. It is fast, clear and precise. I can now take the pictures I have always tried to take in the past but failed due to marginal lenses.

I have been using this lens since Sept 15 2008 with my Evolt E-500. I have taken some incredible moon shots with this lens. I have posted my first attempts which are o.k. My later shots are way better. Will post them eventually as well. [...]
