  • Olympus 40-150mm f/4-5.6 ED Zuiko Digital

    9 out of 10 points and recommended
    Lightweight, Cheap, Small
    Slow Aperture, Plastic mount

    I bought this lens used, and for what it is, it is a good lens. It is relatively cheap, in comparison to other manufacturer's kit telephoto zoom, as the e-520 has its own stabilization in the body. It is also very small and lightweight, and fits my small bag. A great piece of telephoto zoom for what it is worth.

  • Olympus 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 ED Zuiko Digital

    10 out of 10 points and recommended
    Lightweight, Cheap, Small
    Slow Aperture, Plastic Mount, hunts in low-light, Bokeh

    This lens is very good, especially in good light. Almost as sharp as the 14-54mm lens. It is also incredibly small and lightweight and also has a close focusing distance. Although the DOF control is somewhat limited due to its aperture and it hunts in low-light, this lens is one heck of a performer and does not disappoint.

  • Olympus 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 Zuiko Digital

    10 out of 10 points and recommended
    Fast Focus, Build, Weather-Sealed, Relatively Cheap
    Not Constant 2.8

    This lens is a great lens. I bought this lens used, and it is quite good in terms of image quality, sharp across the frame. It is also relatively cheap and better in comparison to the other manufacturer's offerings in relation to focal length (28-108mm FF equivalent). The only lens I think that is being offered by others are the nikon 18-70mm 3.5-4.5 and the sigma 17-70mm 2.8-4.5. But then, these offering from other manufacturer's are a bit slower and don't have stabilization, as opposed to the e-520 which has its stabilization on the body. Overall, a great walk-around lens, and for the price, few lenses could match it.
