This Olympus Zuiko lens is a great addition to any Four Thirds compatible camera setup. With a maximum aperture of f/2.8, it allows for excellent low-light performance and depth of field control. The lens is a standard zoom with a focal length range of 14-54mm, making it a versatile choice for a variety of shooting situations. The aspherical design helps to reduce distortion and improve image sharpness. It also features both auto and manual focus options. This lens is in excellent working condition and comes with its original mount. The optics in great condition but the focus ring is a little rough. Need a four third to micro four third converter to work for the new micro four third which I have just listed on eBay. I could not the front cap since I always have UV to protect it.

A good deal at the price.
This is a replacement for the standard Oly lens on the micro-4/3s cameras, basically the same range but faster. It's bigger(faster), only downside besides that is that the autofocus isn't fast. This seems to be a case with all of these older 4/3s lenses adapted to micro 4/3s cameras. But is as fast and it's much cheaper than current offerings with the same speed. Image quality seems to be quite good, might have some fall off at the edges wide open, but acceptable. Item showed a little use but was in great condition with no scratches or dents and works smoothly.

A heavy-duty chonk of a lens that gets the job done.
It's a heavy lens, and it's a little long after you add in the required 4/3 to M4T adapter, but the speed and heavy-duty construction make the size and weight acceptable. The only true competitor is the newer Olympus 12-40mm f:/2.8, which is only 2 oz lighter, 1 stop faster, and costs 3x as much. My first thought after picking it up was that it's a chonk of a lens. When combined with the 4/3-M4T active adapter it weighs over a full pound, so those with noodle-arms should invest in a really nice, supportive camera strap. it might not sound like a lot, but after toting it around for five or six hours, it's noticeable. The little plastic 14-42mm kit lens feels like a feather, by comparison. Performance when attached to a M4T camera is a mixed bag. As far as I know, the only M4T body that can run this lens as fast as a 4/3 body is the Olympus E-M1 and even then, focusing in dark situations is spotty. WIth a different body that's incapable of contrast-detect autofocus, the indoor perfomance might be frustrating. On the positive side, the heavy-duty construction and weather sealing means I don't have to worry if I'm outside when the weather turns bad. I'm not prone to babying my gear, so this is a very good thing to me. The zoom range is ideal for day trips when you're not sure where you're going and just want to bring along one multi-purpose lens. 14mm will get most of a room in-frame, and 54mm is a good length for portraits on a M4T body. The Olympus 18-180mm will reach further, but I don't often need that sort of zoom and the 14-54's extra 4mm at the wide end is unexpectedly useful. Optically, this lens is fine. Not quite as sharp or as fast as a prime lens but the difference, especially when stopped down by a stop or two, is small enough that 90% of the time, it's good enough. In short, IF you don't mind the size and weight, and IF you don't mind focus-by-wire, this might be a good choice for you. Read full review

Weatherproofed Quality with better performance
I purchased the 14-54 lens as an upgrade to my camera kit. Other lenses that I use include the 14-42, 17.5-45, 40-150 and the 70-300, all being good lenses of standard build/grade. The 14-54 offers "weatherproof" construction that can stand up to splashes and dust. Living in a sea coast environment, I bought an E-1 for the same weatherproof qualities, hoping to overcome my reluctance to expose my other lenses(and my e-410) to beach sand, crashing waves, etc. I am not overly impressed by the actual improvement of image quality, compared to both the 14-42 and the 17.5-45. This lens is brighter/quicker, however. It's substantially bigger/heavier, as well. I would recommend the purchase of this lens, but caution that the upgraded performance may relate mostly to it's better construction features.Read full review

Great option for Brighter apertures for M43 if slow AF is not an issue
Well... purchased it to use with an adapter on an Olympus PEN E-PL2. Autofocus is very slow (still faster than my manual focus) but picture quality is great. This is also a brighter lens than the native micro four thirds, and this lens coupled with a 42-150mm provide an interrupted 14-150mm with F2.8-4.5 which becomes handy and boosts low light performance. Definitely it is not the best option for taking pictures of sports and kids but for landscape definitely worth looking at. When resorting to AF is needed, it is pretty good. It is smooth and responsive, but is is kind of hard to get away with it without an EVF or a really good Manual Focus Assist like Focus peaking. For the price, (got both lenses under $60 each) it is great value.

slow but sharp
Great for outdoor photography, however for indoor my e-500 was slow on focusing. I got this lens to replace my 14-45mm. After playing with the 14-54mm a bit I can tell you that there is a significant improvement is the sharpness. Also, with indoor photography the extra /f helps. My next attempt to improve the focusing is the FL-36 or FL-50. Both of those flashes have Auto Photo assist. I got this lenses for half the price of when it came out to the market. At the price range that this is sold now I think it’s a good price, I don’t think it’s work more – providing that the new lenses have more bells. If you don’t need the zoom I would recommend going for a prime with low /f, for indoor photography.
