I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

I never imagined that I would enjoy this whale lens as much as I do despite its simplicity, compact size, light weight, and utter lack of cost. Olympus E-PM2: ISO 2022, handheld, no stabilizer, table lamp, in-camera jpg, unprocessed (paint shrunk), rare for a product of its price range, and internal focusing (without rotation of external elements).

Pros
  • Dimensions, weight, picture, autofocus speed, internal focusing, secondary market price, and video (MSC) optimization
Cons
  • range of focus lengths; varying levels of quality between pieces

The worst purchase in my life, dont repeat my mistake

Even though I had a variety of lenses, I never imagined that for this much money, people could be sold such poor optics in a case made of the cheapest Chinese plastic! I paid $3,000 for it from my hands in a new state, and now I know why someone got rid of it! Never even consider getting a new one! Do not assume that I got a faulty copy; they are all the same! The official store is currently selling them for 17,000 xDDD P / s.

Pros
  • All of its advantages—compact, silent, quick AF (yet, with such focal hyperfocals, start beyond 5m), and light—are lost.
Cons
  • I've never seen a piece of plastic so revolting! It has no strength and not just feels cheap to the touch. There are two breaks in the bayonet fastener! The plastic is quite thin. In terms of optics, it is likewise lacking in sharpness; even closing the aperture to f/ 8 or f/ 9 does not help in any way because there was never any sharpness to begin with.

Average product, you can do better.

Well, since these lenses were not yet available, I purchased a 14-42mm lens on the secondary market. It was not significantly worse than the Lumix G Vario 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6, and I replaced it with a Panas lens because it was cheaper to use with the camera and did not significantly alter the quality of the pictures. In addition, if I were to purchase a new olik, according to my understanding of MFT in low light, I should avoid confusing it with its predecessor

Pros
  • It is cute, black, fairly sharp, and rarely captures hares.
Cons
  • It focuses oddly slowly and isn't always precise, which is worse than Panas 14-42. lens hood absent

The item is ok but not fully compliant with the description.

As a result of the fall, to the " with superglue, the quality has improved markedly! Looks like the Vietnamese (lens made in Vietnam) cheated with the adjustment . Some pros: Focusing speed, the absence of a multi-stage "trunk", which eliminates the "shake" at certain shutter speeds, as happens on the old model. Its cons: When folded, it is a few millimeters longer than the first model

The goods are normal, money is not wasted!

the zoom in it is manual, which, in my opinion, The construct is, of course, plastic, in the locked state, the lens becomes a centimeter shorter, made so that the camera can "shoot out of the box" from E-M5 14-42 is the most budget lens,

Pros
  • Whale ( included) not big Decent image quality
Cons
  • Hard to find a filter of this size Separate from the carcass - insanely expensive Lock button - why is it?

Compact and Versatile Zoom Lens

With the Olympus M Zuiko Digital lens, I am able to capture excellent photos that are sharp and clear. As my tests showed it performs very well in low light conditions and the zoom range is perfect for getting up-close shots without having to physically move closer .The lens is also lightweight and compact, making it easy to carry around, and it has a durable build quality. The only downside is the noise it makes when focusing, but it's not a major issue. Overall, it's an excellent addition to…

Pros
  • Compact and lightweight for easy portability.
Cons
  • Limited max aperture may restrict low light photography opportunities.

Great little lens

I don't usually buy "complete" lenses but I liked the idea of a small lens like this when attached to the camera. I can pocket my O-EM10 Mark III like a P&S with this lens. I was also very impressed by the quality of the photos. They are surprisingly sharp for a lens in this price range.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Updates
