REVIEW: Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-150mm f/4-5.6 Lens Review
Handling and features This superzoom lens for Micro Four Thirds system cameras offers a 10.7x zoom range equivalent to a 28-300mm lens on a 35mm camera. It costs around £400 and sports Olympus' MSC silent focusing motor and a slim, compact and lightweight design.

- Slightly plastic build for the price
- Flash shadowing at wideangle
