Great Travel Lens
The apature closes pretty fast once you start going above 30-40mm so you cross f4.0 pretty fast. In low lighting conditions, try to get closer instead of zooming into the subject as this will give you a bigger apature.
Pros:
- This lens make a great travel lens for those who don't wanna carry multiple lens on a trip
- The zoom range is perfect for daily use
- AutoFocus is quick
- Image quality is great
- I leave it on my camera at all times
Cons:
- Low lighting conditions can sometimes cause autofocus issues

Lense I use 90 Percent of the time
This lens is the one lens I take everywhere, there may be sharper lenses but this one is fine for most things. When you don't want to carry a lot of weight or be ready for any type of shooting this is the one I take.

Olympus 18-180mm f/3.5-6.3 Zuiko Digital review by trentdp
My wife uses this lens on her Olympus E-520 and likes it very much. It covers a nice range and is great for general photography which we do most of the time. Only small drawback is 18 mm is a little narrower than we would prefer but definately not a deal breaker.
Pros:
- Nice light general purpose vacation lens
Cons:
- It would be nice at 14mm on the wide end

This 18-180mm lens from Olympus costs around ￡420 and is a compact super-zoom, perfect for travelling light. Apart from the 10x zoom range appealing to those who aren't comfortable changing lenses, the close focus distance should allow for frame filling close-up shots too.
Pros:
- Good resolution at the shorter end
- Light weight
- Compact
Cons:
- Flare control
- Barrel distortion at 18mm
