The perfect travel companion
The Olympus ED 14-150mm appealed to me because of its ideal focal length range for travel photography. I simply don't want to lug around 10 or more kilos of DSLR equipment. I was aware that this multi-range lens is hardly usable at open and fully closed apertures. On the other hand, it takes very good pictures at f/8 across the entire zoom range. In general, the lens is a lot of fun and worth recommending.
Pro
- Ideal travel lens
- Good workmanship
- Easy
- Lens hood included
Contra
- Only sharp in the middle aperture range (e.g. 8)
Optimal travel or all-round zoom!
Was on holiday for 2 weeks and have had the camera with this lens for about 1 month. I switched from Nikon with much bigger and heavier components. After initial scepticism, I have to say that I am extremely satisfied with the image quality - also with the focal length range! I've taken really nice, sharp pictures with great colours, something the Nikon never managed. So I'm totally happy with the lens! I'm not sure if I want to buy any additional lenses...
Of course there are faster lenses with fixed focal lengths with even better properties - but I still give it 5 stars.Pro
- Picture quality (sharpness, colours)
- easy
Contra
- "luminous intensity"
Not bad...
As always with this kind of equipment, long focal lengths are not very good. There is easily a kind of haze on the picture. The aperture is a bit small at maximum focal length.
Pro
- Size, weight
Contra
- Some optical limitations
Visually below average
Lens came in a kit. Never thought it would be so blurry, disappointing and so never used it. Apparently the large focal length range was too much of a challenge. Fortunately, this is an exception with Olympus, because otherwise there is almost only top quality.
Pro
- relatively easy
- good workmanship
- large focal length range ...
Contra
- blurred
Great lens
Even though I have only been using the lens for about a week, it has met my expectations. I will continue to test it and adjust my review if necessary.
Pro
- Compact and lightweight
- Great zoom that allows for sharp shots
Contra
- In the dark it is difficult to take photos that are not blurred
- At 14mm, the quality of the images seems to me to be slightly better with the 14-40mm lens
Super zoom lens, shoots extremely sharp images
Pro
- Top performance
Contra
- A little expensive
