I have used this zoom only three times, and the lens was so easy to focus and hold. I intend to use the lens this summer to take photos of birds.

When I first attached the lens to the camera, my camera would shut off. I thought that the lens was broken. I called my Adorama salesperson and he gave me the phone number to Olympus. Since my camera is about 5-6 years old, I had to download an update from Olympus. I live in a very rural area with a lot of wildlife. This lens allows me to get up closer than I have been able to in the past. Great detail and the auto-focus works well.

Just purchased this lens great for the price, and the pictures look so nice and clear. Great zoom.
