Nice lens for the price!
By penguinlvr
With this lens you can really feel like you are almost next to your subject. I can't wait to get some shots at the next full moon. For the price, it is a great lens. The bokeh on this lens is nice, with a shallow DOF. That said, there are some shortcomings, but I would expect that from a telephoto zoom lens like this. First, the auto-focus will hunt in low light. I really don't think I'm going to be using the 300mm end of the lens in low light anyway. I noticed that the lens didn't seem to focus well if you had multiple focus points selected. Pick one of your focus points and use it. Remember that this lens, while light-weight is not one that you want to use hand-held at 300mm unless you can get a very short shutter speed. I noticed more than a few shots had problems with camera shake using longer shutter speeds.

By Serious Cook
As a long-time 35 mm shooter, it was amazing to find the equivalent of a 140-600 f 5.6 lens for $400.00. The lens shoots clear, rich color photos. The only negatives I have found are slow auto-focus, and difficulty focusing under indoor lighting. Otherwise, this is a fine lens.

Insanely sharp lens!
By Y. Pan
First I got only mediocre results from this les then I decided to to a quick resolution chart test. And I couldn't believe my eyes that how sharp it is, at least in a studio. Let me provide you my results.Tested on an Evolt E-510. Please note that the horizontal absolute resolution limit of E-510 is just 2100 LPH due to the famous DPReview.com. Anything sharper won't reflect here.Here you go.70mm F/4: 2100 LPH. F/4~up, 2100+ LPH.150mm F/4.6 1900 LPH; F5.6~up 2100 LPH.220mm F/?? didn't test; F/7.1~up 1950+ LPH.300mm F/5.6 1750+ LPH; F/8~up 1850+ LPH."+" means unsure but at least.Note I am just trying to measure the 'absolute resolution' here which means the 'extinction resolution' go even higher (usually 250 LPH higher).Wow! This means from 70-150mm (that is 140-300mm equivalent) the lens resolution is beyond the current 4/3 cameras! From 150-300mm (that is 300mm-600mm equivalent) this lens pretty much scratches E-510's limits.On the downside. I do find the focus to be very slow, especially in low light where it can be erratic. It is frustrating sometimes. So my medicore results came from the focus. Whenever I get the focus right, I get tack sharp results. But it is not easy with this lens. Be prepared to use this lens only in bright light.How much did I pay for this lens? 360 dollars, not 3600 dollars! I know its limit but with some very careful work I can get some professional level results on my wildlife shots.
