OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital 14-150mm F4.0-5.6 II Noir

Good Points: Super zoom, compact, super convenient, great for travel, rarely need if ever to change lenses, fun to use, a grand lens for photo walks out doors in good light. Improvement Points: Slow at f4-5.6, end up using high ISO a lot in anything but bright lighting conditions, have to work harder in post processing to bring out highest quality images.

Very light and stunning color that jumps out at you!! Love these lenses!!

Finally, no longer having to carry two lens when going out. This lens covers both close and long ranges. Can't be better for daytime use while strolling in wooden or concrete jungles.

I've only had this a short time but so far I like it. I used it to take product photos for my wife's online store, and while it does not focus as close as the 14 to 42 I had been using, the photos were sharp and the colors very good. I bought it mostly for travel - to avoid lense changes. I am looking forward to using it in the field.

Such a fun lens, and it's splash proof too!! Very good build quality. Barrel doesn't wobble when extended. Optically much sharper than my old Nikon 18-200 VR.
