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.
Pros:
  • 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
Cons:
  • 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
Pros:
  • Micro Four Thirds owners looking for a lightweight zoom lens for general-purpose / travel use.
Cons:
  • Sharpness fanatics and pixel-peepers, Panasonic Lumix G-series owners (due to the lack of OIS)

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.

Olympus M.ZUIKO Digital ED 14-150mm f/4-5.6 II

The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-150mm f/4-5.6 II is a modest but worthy upgrade to the 5-year-old M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-150mm f/4-5.6 lens. The biggest improvement is the addition of dust and moisture seals, which means the lens can be used safely in wet and dusty environments alike, as long it is...

I bought this for the times I want to travel light (situations where I want to have versatility between near and far focus). I pair it with my M10-II. The combination has worked well for me. I have used it primarily during the daylight hours.
