Comments about Olympus Olympus Zuiko 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 Digital ED SWD Lens for Olympus Digital SLR Cameras:
I wish it was a 72 mm lens but with a 67 to 72 adapter, it can use the same filters as my 12-60 Zuiko. Fast focus with excellent detail. Short length a plus. Have found nothing bad--only good on this lens. Lens hood is huge so I rarely use.

Comments about Olympus Olympus Zuiko 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 Digital ED SWD Lens for Olympus Digital SLR Cameras:
I tried this lens just a week ago and was surprised!! Took a photo from my patio at full
extension hand held with IS on and was really knocked over when I expanded photo to 14x on the LED of my Olympus E-30 and image was tack sharp!!
I still have to put it through it's paces but I'm sure the results will be great!!

Comments about Olympus Olympus Zuiko 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 Digital ED SWD Lens for Olympus Digital SLR Cameras:
I've heard a lot of talk about the differences between this lens and similar Sigma offering, but after using both I can safely say that the Oly 50-200 is the clear winner. Focusing speed, IQ, lens weight and feel, all go in favor of the Oly lens. It is a bit heavy, but a monopod negates the weight nicely. Put this one with a 12-60 lens and a 1.4x teleconverter and you're set for nearly anything under the sun! Sports, wildlife, even some portraiture on occasion, it's just a great one to have in the bag.

Comments about Olympus Olympus Zuiko 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 Digital ED SWD Lens for Olympus Digital SLR Cameras:
This is a very fast and sharp lens and very good in low light situations. I bought it to replace a 70-300mm Zuiko lens and I couldn't be happier with it's performance. Very rugged construction and silent autofocus make this lens a winner.

Comments about Olympus Olympus Zuiko 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 Digital ED SWD Lens for Olympus Digital SLR Cameras:
This is a very sharp lens - even wide open. It is half the size, weight and price of a comparable Canon or Nikon lens. Optically superb. The problem: the zoom is accomplished by an external extension of the lens barrel, and the extension - a smaller diameter tube extending from the main body - is a bit flimsy. There is noticeable wiggle of the front element visible through the viewfinder, although no accompanying focus problems. It is not a problem yet other than it seems disturbing for a lens in this price range.

Comments about Olympus Olympus Zuiko 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 Digital ED SWD Lens for Olympus Digital SLR Cameras:
Bought Olympus to get new lens mount system.
Never considered Olympus beings I use Hasablad and Leica film, Canon 1D Full Frame Digital with adapters so I can use Hasi/Leica Glass on Canon.
Only bought this so I could bolt up an old Minolta/Leica 800mm Mirror Lens via adapter. What a surprise in the quality of the output of both the E520 Camera and this Lens (only Olympus Lens that I own). With this addition I am back to being able to use all of my glass in digital, so Film is definately dead for me!!!

Comments about Olympus Olympus Zuiko 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 Digital ED SWD Lens for Olympus Digital SLR Cameras:
This is a really great lens, it is quick consistent and very solid. Some people complain about the weight of this lens I have no idea what they are talking about it is not heavy at all it is very easy to hand hold and carry all day. I do it all the time for events with out any problems. I have shot every thing from low light indoor Church settings, portraits, to out door wild life and scenery with very good success. The only complaint I have about this lens is the diameter of the lens hood, It makes it very hard to fit in a bag. However this is a lens that will be in my bag every time I leave the house.
