Never buy this product.

there is no sharpness on these lenses. there were about 5-6 copies, I tried to find an acceptable one. I don’t understand the manufacturer at all: for the classic 4/3 there were excellent lenses for these focal lengths. and the one with ED glass, and the usual one. and hoods were included. and now the price has been raised, and the quality is worse than any other manufacturer: for canon, nikon and sony, of course, whale televisions also have their drawbacks, but they are significantly ahead of olik. and fujik has a whale telephoto in general of chic quality.

Pros

compact, lightweight, inexpensive in the secondary market

Cons

soapy throughout the range, at the long end, generally quiet horror. the approach mechanism is a bit tight out of the box. there is no hood in the delivery.
