I have owned this lens for about one month. During this time I have used it daily to test it's capabilities as a long focal length lens, as a macro lens, and as a portrait lens. from Amazon.com I have had this lens for a month now, and couldn't be happier. My daughter is a senior and use this lens photographing her soccer games. from Amazon.com My first impression of this lens was its size and weight; it is big. At about 1.4 lbs it outweighs my E510 camera body and at 3.5" wide and almost 6" long with a filter it takes a lot of room in the camera bag. from Amazon.com I took this lens to Park City, UT and while I was at the Olympic Park, an international ski jump competition was going on. I used this lens to get nice close-ups of the skiers during thier jumps. from Amazon.com I have had this lens for about 6 months to use with my Olympus e-510, and have really put it through its paces. I have had no problems with its operation, and it has consistently produced quality results for me. from Amazon.com I had been eying this lens for quite some time. One of the biggest advantages of the 4/3rds system is on the telephoto side. from Amazon.com I've been using this new lens for a couple of months now. It's been hit and miss as far as clear, focused images, mostly miss. from Amazon.com I've been using this lens for about two months now, and I must say, this thing is great for wildlife. I don't have a ton of money to spend on the better lenses, but this entry level lens is cost friendly and gets the job done. from Amazon.com This lens delivers on what it promises. A wide zoom range and gets very close to far away objects. from Amazon.com I purchased this lens four months ago for my E-520 for moon shots at the first, then wound up using it for much more, particularly nature photography. This lens is capable of amazing photos of the moon, to the point where you can crop out the edges until the moon fills most of the image and is still tack-sharp (using a remote control or anti-shock release and tripod). from Amazon.com
