Olympus 14-150mm f/4-5.6 ED M.Zuiko Digital review by dda
this one is on my OM-D 50% of the time - I combine it with the 12 - pana 25 - 45 and voigtlander 17.5 / happy with it- all-round lens - good image quality (not perfect
- but good
- none
My Favorite Lens
I like the range and use it for most of my photographs. The only two lenses I carry most of the time are this and a 75-300 although I do occasionally use a 500mm lens for extreme distance.It is just too convenient to do without.
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.
The M Zuiko Digital 14-150mm F4-5.6 sees Olympus extending its Pen series lens range into superzoom territory, providing an upgrade option for compact camera owners who've grown used to having 10x or greater zoom ratios.
- Relatively small and lightweight for its type
- Respectable image quality for a superzoom (very good indeed from 25mm to 45mm
- Fast
- practically silent autofocus
- Attractive bokeh (when you can get it
- Rather high chromatic aberration at each end of the zoom
- Corners rather soft at wideangle
- Slightly plastic build for the price
- Flash shadowing at wideangle
- Lens hood not included
- For Panasonic camera users
- no optical image stabilization
Olympus M. Zuiko Digital ED 14-150mm 1:4-5.6 review
Olympus's Micro Four Thirds superzoom is, typically, the smallest in its class, and has respectable image quality too. It's a fine general purpose and travel lens, although Panasonic camera owners should take note of the lack of optical image stabilisation- Micro Four Thirds owners looking for a lightweight zoom lens for general-purpose / travel use.
- Sharpness fanatics and pixel-peepers, Panasonic Lumix G-series owners (due to the lack of OIS)
