We have the part in use for years, on holiday, at festivals, for "light beer garden equipment" and as all-in-one lens. Now we have bought another copy, because we have a total of 3 housing E-600, E-620 and E-5 in use. Over, this 10x zoom for this price, you can not ask. Who needs light intensity, must take prime lenses or be satisfied with less focal length range. Processing, haptics, resolution and size / weight are ideal balanced. We also have the 2/50, the 2.8-3.5 / 50-200 including the 18-180 but all not approach the universal Einsatzbarkeit of. The image results always surprise positively.
Olympus to continue the E-System definitely beside the PEN line !! Even for such optics!
