    Cons: Noticeable optical issues such as aberrations, and does not perform exceptionally with extremely bright light or high contrast scenes, resulting in some ghosting around bright subjects. Not ideal for low light use. No optical image stabilization. Plastic construction. Pumper zoom (issue with dust getting in the lens).

    Pros: Very small and light weight.

    Summary: For the low price, it is a bargain if you are on a budget. However, you get what you pay for - there are optical and build issues.

    Cons: Plastic all around Extends to double original length

    Pros: The plastic that is used is sturdy, tough and won\'t break for no reason Decent IQ throughout the range Light as a feather, you\'d hardly notice it extra in your bag

    Summary: People are too harsh on these cheap and cheerful lenses, I doubt any serious photographer will expect metal build, or even mount for this price. If that\'s what you\'re after, you\'re not buying this lens, it\'s meant to be used as a casual, always in the bag light tele.

    Cons: Cheap construction, even the mounting ring is plastic. Rather slow: f/4-5.6.

    Pros: Image Quality is surprisingly good. Very light weight. Focuses quickly. Smaller, lighter, and much more affordable than Oly 75-300mm.

    Summary: When on sale this lens can be had for $99-$120. That's a great price for a very usable lens. For anyone wanting an affordable telephoto zoom for their Micro 4/3 system camera, this lens is GREAT. This is NOT a professional quality lens; but it is a very good amatuer lens. The best $99 dollar lens I've ever owned!
