Zuiko 50-200mm Lens [Posted on 2008-05-27]
You will not find a long lens with this combination of quality,compact size, and price. The Olympus four thirds system allows you to tote around a far less bulky lens than its large 35mm camera equivalent. The speed of the lens at full extension is fast enough to operate in conditions that many lenses would balk at. Well worth the price.
A great lens! [Posted on 2008-06-05]
The Olympus Zuiko 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 Digital ED SWD is very fast and renders beautiful image quality, sharp throughout the entire image and with minimum distortion and vignetting. Together with E3 this telezoom is very versatile, the fast f-stop and the image stabilizer reduces dramatically the need for carrying a tripod. The focus mechanism is nice, lightning fast and quiet. Build quality seems excellent (although I have not yet tested its splash proofing) Highly recommended!
Great lens...should be...it's not cheap! [Posted on 2008-07-28]
I have been using this lens for a month now with an Olympus E510 and have had a mixed bag of results. Most of the issues are with learning how to use it properly. I love the zoom range and the results at each end. Having the extra light gathering has produced good pics where none may have been possible. When I get it right the picture quality is outstanding. I have even used this lens to get close ups that I couldn't do with my macro because of restricted access.
Overall quality is excellent and I agree with most reviewers that this is a big heavy lens but well worth it.
Great and reasonable [Posted on 2008-10-25]
This lens is a beauty. It is so sharp that it is like having a macro lens that you can use from 40 ft. away. While it is not inexpensive. when compared to the Canon 70-200 2.8 with image stabilization it is a real bargain. It would be nice if it was a constant 2.8 but I shudder to think what it would weigh. It is the sharpest lens I have ever owned.
Olympus 50-200mm Lens Review [Posted on 2008-11-04]
I originally had no desire to buy this lens at all. I had just bought the 7 -14 mm Zuiko super wide-angle lens on my Amazon Visa Card and did not want to take on any more debt. However, I had read that the waterfalls in New York City were about to be taken down in October of 2008. I just had to capture this art exhibit before it was gone. So I decided to scope out the scene one weekend to explore the possibilities. I owned an Olympus E Volt 330 with the 14 to 45mm zoom and I wanted to see if it was up to the task. I could tell right off the bat that the waterfalls were too far away to capture effectively with this lens and that I would need a high powered telephoto lens to capture the beauty of this spectacle and that furthermore I would need to do it at night to capture the drama of the lighting. I had gotten another E Mail from Amazon telling me that lenses were on sale for no interest for up to 12 months using the Amazon Store Card. Since I was very happy with my newly acquired 7 - 14 mm zoom lens, so I was more than willing to take a chance on this lens. Needless to say using the Zuiko 50-200 mm lens to capture the New York City water falls produced results that were spectacular and my breath was taken away yet again. I am 100% sold on the Olympus Digital camera and lens system and I am very glad I stayed with this brand of camera. To see the photos of the waterfalls just type Baruch College photos into Google and you can see that photo set there. Enjoy!
