Two months ago, I turned in my heavy Nikon gear, faithful friends for years, and swapped for an Oly e-m5 II. This was the lens I chose for its range and weatherproofing. I love it! I have taken over 500 photos since then and couldn't be happier.

Bought this as a weather-sealed travel zoom to go with my OM-D EM-5 II, and expected some compromises because of the wide zoom range. It has exceeded my expectations, a stunning lens for the money. It's a lot of lens for the money, and competently replaces the 14-42 and 40-150 m.Zuiko kit lenses.

The Olympus M.Zuiko ED 14-150mm f4.0-5.6 ($599.99 direct)($629.99 at Amazon Canada) is an all-in-one zoom lens for Micro Four Thirds cameras. Its 10.7x zoom range covers an impressive 28-300mm (35mm equivalent) field of view, and its aperture only narrows by one f-stop as you zoom. Many lenses of this type are plagued by distortion and sharpness issues, but this one manages to keep distortion to a reasonable level, and aside from some issues with the edges at longer focal lengths, is impressively sharp. It's not a lens for low-light shooting, but if you're looking for a walkaround lens to use in good light, it's a solid option. The lens measures 3.3 by 2.5 inches, weighs 9.9 ounces, and features a 58mm filter thread. It telescopes as you zoom, doubling in length by the time you get to 150mm, but the front element doesn't rotate so using a polarizing filter is possible. Aside from the wide zoom ring and narrower manual focus ring, there are no physical controls on the barrel. Ther...
