I'm really impressed. This lens is great for portraits, macro photography (shallow depth of field is really cool), sports or nature photography. After reading other reviews my concern was that the lens was going to be heavy and slow. It's not. It's not heavy as for such huge lens at all. It's also not slow, autofocus works pretty fine (except for the 150mm+), but manual focus is working ok too. I really love that lens and I truly recommend it to all photography enthusiasts. The price is very reasonable too. Buy it and enjoy it!

Being a 4/3 lens the range of effectively 600mm is great for zoos, sports etc
Limited aperture means its not an action stopping lens but is easy to carry.
Good entry into wildlife photography before spending eye-watering amounts on a wider aperture or 'pro' version!
Was very pleased that it has a 'manual focus' switch - auto focus at long focal length is not easy on my E510.

Got this to go with my E-510, as I was beginning to feel a tad limited by the kit lenses that came with it, fine as those are. It is not a light lens in use - an SLR gorillapod will wilt under its weight unless carefully set up - but the results that I have enjoyed with it have been spectacular. In macro mode, I have been able to capture skittish butterflies with fine resolution, and hazy distant landscapes become a breeze! The resolution of distant objects has been solid, and cropped in closeup portraits have proved that the lens can handle these more than capably. Craters on the moon are clearly discernable, and playing with the camera settings (yes, well over a year since buying the camera, and I am still discovering the things it can do!) shooting hand-held in low light has proved easy enough in most situations.
The joy of the 4:3 system is that this lens covers such a staggering range (140mm - 600mm equivalent) in a compact body. The downside is that I am now starting to drool over the thought of getting a wide angle lens to complement it!
I am tending to use it for wildlife and flower photography, and for foreshortening landscapes. Before buying it I wondered if I could justify the cost, but you only live once and I am very pleased with the purchase. Having got it, I would not now part with it, and that's a sign of a good product in my book.

This relatively lightweight lens is top-notch in delivering high quality images with little-to-know distortion throughout its 70-300mm (really 140-600mm) focal lenths when taking outdoor shots. Indoors, images are also sharp but autofocusing is somewhat slow in low light conditions. However, as another reviewer mentioned, this limitation can be mostly overcome by setting the camera to manual and auto focus. I'd highly recommend this versatile, leightweight lens when you are looking to add a long-range zoom lens to your photo equipment.

Maybe I'm just not that good a photographer but I'm not altogether sure about this lens. I bought one a day or two back for an Olympus e-600 camera and I found it heavy and slow. Don't get me wrong I'm no David Bailey but there is an obvious weight issue when it is attached to a small camera like the e-600.
The thing I've found is that when I'm lining up a shot, I like to check, double check and re-double check it to make sure I'm not doing anything too daft with the shot. I've found that because the lens is comparatively heavy, it keeps wanting my "weight baring" hand to drop a little as I line the shot up. This might be a problem for anyone who likes to use a dSLR as a hand held camera.
The other thing that surprises me is that lack of promptness when it comes to focussing. The 14-42 and 40-150 are noticeably quicker. I know that the 70-300mm is much bigger and that I should expect it to take longer, but even alowing for that it feels a little slow when the light isn't good.
All this having been said, the resulting pictures do seem genuinely sharp, which is always a good thing.
