Product Description
This is lightweight, compact and with a great 10x standard zoom lens covered to the range of distinct telephoto effect. It is equivalent to 36-360mm on a 35mm camera. The almighty lens can cover most of shooting scene. The closest focusing distance is down to 45cm in entire zoom area, and 0.23x (equivalent to 0.46x on a 35mm camera) of magnification allows you close-up shots. Two ED lenses and two aspherical lenses compensate each aberration to give the high-performance in entire zoom area.

 Great lens! September 13, 2008
Dorca N. Cobian
I bought this lens for my Olympus E 500 around 6 months ago. I was looking for a tele photo lens in an affrodable price. This is a 10X Zoom lens which in the ideal conditions works extremly good!
This lens is ideal for landscapes shoots, sports and low light scenes. For low light scenes I would recomend to use a tripod. The lens is quite heavy for it's size so maybe after a while your neck will feel tired.
This lens is not good for macro shots... or at least I haven't found the way to use it for macro shots yet.
Other than that, I would say this lens is really good.

This is my go to lens I almost never take it off of my camera. I have great clarity and no chromatic or optical aberrations the range of field is great. I can not say enough about this lens.
 Great Zoom lens, ideal for daylight or bright light scenes February 18, 2008

I've used this for about a month now and so far I've been quite pleased with the performance of this lens. Other than the impressive zoom, there really isn't anything very impressive about the lens. The F3.5 falls off very quickly to F5.1 at about 50mm, which means the lens is overall pretty slow. Size-wise, the lens is quite compact, but not as light as I thought it would be. The lens is pretty heavy as compared to the kit lens (although this is understandable). However, I do find myself using this lens less often as compared to the kit lens especially because of the weight. The lens works really, really well in daylight and produces some stunning results, but I would definitely not recommend this for too much night scene photography. I'm contemplating the 18-50mm F2.8 Sigma which does seem like a great night scene lens.
Accurate Positive Reviews December 1, 2007

One of my deciding factors on purchasing this lens was the positive reviews I read here and elsewhere. I recently decided after a lot of research to purchase the Olympus Evolt 500 camera body. Several reviews suggested the kit lenses were lesser quality than other options. So I purchased only the Evolt 500 body and began searching for a good lens that would handle the general picture taking tasks I envisioned that I would need. This 18-180mm zoom seemed to fit the bill. I read all the reviews I could find on the lens and found that the Amazon price gave me good value and the Amazon backing I've come to be comfortable with.
The lens is much faster than the standard lenses I demoed in the stores and focuses very accurately for indoor shots. The edge sharpness is very good and focusing is spot on. I haven't had an opportunity to use the camera outdoors which will be approximately 60 percent of its intended use. I'll update this review once I have some experience using it outdoors. But I've come to believe that if it performs well indoors the type of outdoor use I plan will probably be very satisfactory.
Bottom line is I am comfortable with my decision and believe this to be a superior option to the kit lenses.
As good as an "All in One" gets! October 10, 2007

The quality is the highest I have seen with mega-zoom lenses. I was able to get exremely sharp focus on full 360mm shots. Even with no image stabilizer the pictures are still incredible. There is no "all in one" that is perfect but this is as close as you can get. I use it on an E-500. Construction is very high compared to some of my better nikon lenses. Olympus did this right with all the right compromises in my view. A+++++++++++
