Actual user review:

“When I purchased this zoom lens 2 yrs ago I was so a new comer to digital photography that I did not realize what I jewel I’d! After 2 yrs of use, I can not become more pleased with it. I have 3 various digital camera systems but I still shoot 90% of my shots on this zoom lens with my Olympus Evolt DIGITAL SLR.

With the innovation in SLRs in the last 3 years, I have constantly looked about at other digital camera systems. After wasting a large amount of time at digital camera stores and credit friends systems, I keep returning to my Olympus E510 for this sharp and vibrant lens. This kind of lens is cause enough to go out and purchase an Olympus SLR. In the useful 12-60mm range, you merely can’t find such incredible image quality anyplace near this cost and in this small package. Offerings for Canon and Nikon are doubly large and three times the purchase price.

Can not wait around to try it out with the new Olympus E5 SLR, as it is reported as the quickest focusing lens/SLR combination in the marketplace.” – Lucas (Berkeley, CA, USA).
