Comments about Olympus Olympus Zuiko 50mm - 200mm f/2.8-3.5 E-ED Digital Zoom Lens for the E Digital SLR System.:

Bought this lens as an upgrade for my E-510 kit lenses.
Have had this lens for only a few weeks but so far i am satisfied with its performance.

At times it focuses kinda slow in low light even with flash assist. I have only experienced this in my home with weak lighting and the in-camera flash.
Performance is outstanding capturing action outdoors in good light as well as birdwatching.

Lens is heavy but im kind of a big burly guy so its not a big problem for me. it may be a problem for some folks.
All in all its a good lens and performance as well as image quality is an improvement over the e-510 kit lenses.

Comments about Olympus Olympus Zuiko 50mm - 200mm f/2.8-3.5 E-ED Digital Zoom Lens for the E Digital SLR System.:

A recent acquisition, thus not much experience so far with it, yet whenever I used it, the results were excellent; good for birds, also stealing a portrait of an interesting face from a distance; I shall wait for more light in the now gloomy Poland until I shall have more to say about it

Comments about Olympus Olympus Zuiko 50mm - 200mm f/2.8-3.5 E-ED Digital Zoom Lens for the E Digital SLR System.:

I was hesitant to spend the money. But boy was it worth it. I have no buyer remorse, I have never been more happy with a purchase like this. I've used it at several Minor League baseball games and a my nephews soccer games. This lens is wonderful and am very happy with the 3/4 system of Olympus Lenses.

Comments about Olympus Olympus Zuiko 50mm - 200mm f/2.8-3.5 E-ED Digital Zoom Lens for the E Digital SLR System.:

I really enjoy the 2.8 aperture but the weight is heavier than I expected. After a couple of hours hiking in Costa Rica, I was beat from lugging the lens around. Since this purchase, I have tried lenses of the same zoom and fstop from other mfrs that are much lighter.
