Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Covering field of view to 600mm (35mm equivalent), this high mobility super-telephoto zoom lens weighs only 620 grams. Also, this lens incorporates three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lens elements to offer sharper, higher-contrast imaging performance.Furthermore, 1x magnification (35mm equivalent) tele-macro photography is capable. Thanks to Four-Thirds system, the lens offers a lot of the footwork out of both super-telephoto and macro photography world.

5 out of 5 stars 4/3rds long telephoto   August 30, 2008

I've had this lens a bit over a month and already taken great photos. It's short, lightweight, sharp, inexpensive, a bit slow on the focus, and not quite as fast as some.
Combined with an Olympus IS system, you get an equivalent 600mm reach that is (with practice) hand- holdable in most situations. Try that with any other lens! I'm not saying it can't be beaten, but for the price and the weight/size, it's a remarkably great piece of glass!

great lens

yes it searches for focus in low light or low contrast
but it is awesome in all other situations

also a great lens for close up macro type photography=
as long as you can get back 3 ft you can zoom all the way in!

i have seen colors and patterns on insects I never ever would have known were there
pretty amazing macro ability

very fun nature lens

i do often hand focus at the end as the depth of field isn't great.
you want the eyes of birds etc to be sharp , and I can end up
with the tail etc in focus and the eyes soft if you do automatic focus

with this in mind it is awesome and I've also taken a number of
birds on the wing that have come out great

love it with the E3

am considering the 50-200 now that the price is coming down just
for the low light in the woods type shots

excellent highly recommended

also I use it almost exclusively handheld with the E3
and often full telephoto- no problem!!

oh and did I mention the price?

70-300 yes!

PS also Amazon is great to deal with- i ordered direct
