Comments about Olympus Olympus Zuiko Digital 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom Lens for the Evolt E-330 Digital SLR Camera:

This lens is best suited for outdoor use only. An exceptional lens for candid photography as portraiture, landscape/sceneary. Any control that needs a push of more than 300 iso would be quite bad for this lens performance (For me, only meant for outdoor and mid-indoor photography). Buy this lens for outdoor -- it's good!

hard to use indoors with any type of

results.

Comments about Olympus Olympus Zuiko Digital 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom Lens for the Evolt E-330 Digital SLR Camera:

amazing quality from a lightweight kit lens. Nice contrast too.not fast but at these focal lengths this is not a great problem unless you want to shoot indoors no flash - in which case you need a specialist lens anyway!
