I bought this along w the new OM1 camera and two other zoom lenses. This serves as my mid zoom. While a bit larger than I expected, I’m very impressed w the build quality, the clarity of the pictures and its ability to work impeccably w the OM camera. I’m happy to have the larger 2.8 aperture just for lower light. Many go w the 4.0 aperture for the smaller size of the , and I totally understand that choice too. Very pleased w this camera system and glad I went with OM

This is absolutely one of the best lenses I have ever owned! It is sharp, quick focusing, has great color and contrast. The bright 2.8 aperture throughout is a joy to work with! I’d give it a 12 on a scale of 1-10.

Lightweight, very sharp. Great lens to bring out and enjoy. Compact enough to just bring out, and very fast aperture for high speed, low light situations. The lens hood design lets you quickly retract it.
