Versatile, Sharp, Compact
Sharp, sharp, sharp with spectacular resolution, beautiful color and contrast. I keep this lens on my PEN E-P5 about 90 percent of the time. It’s compact, lightweight and just an easy-peasy little lens to keep on the camera for candid, every day shooting.

Great size for walking around (street) photography
So small for a zoom lens. Great for daytime walk arounds. It’s sometimes slow on focusing.

Tiene una nitidez increÃÂble
Antes usaba canon. Pero desde que me pase a Olympus todo ha sido satisfacciones y alegrÃÂas. La nitidez que da el lente y su prácticamente nulo sonido y lo portable que es me encanta. Canon, Nikon y Sony ofrecen lo mismo pero 10 veces más caro y con mucho más peso y tamaño. En encanta Olympus ahora OMD.

Cute, compact, and overall handy
I got this to go with my Olympus OMD EM10 body and with the accessory lens cap that ran $40. Together, they make a super compact zoom lens with a good focal length range (equivalent to 28mm – 84mm). I use this to film video and for those moments when I may need a zoom, and in good light. Definitely notice how much “slower” it is in autofocusing compared to the 25mm 1.8 prime from Olympus that I constantly use. Slower, but not bad still. For low light, I will switch to the 25mm prime. Images come out clear and sharp, but not ask tack sharp as the prime. Glad to have this cute handy pancake zoom, but its significantly more expensive than the regular kit lens that comes with the Olympus OMD models. For me, the compact factor was worth the extra money.

Excellent All-Around µ4/3 Lens
Excellent lens, perfect for walking around work and general photography on my Olympus E-P5. I do wish that Oly included the auto lens cap with it, but aside from the expense, this is a super all-around lens for general purpose photography. I can use my old OM primes for when I need a little more light. Good performance and excellent Olympus color!

I was really glad I got it after all
I debated getting this lens to replace my kit lens for a long time. I wasn’t sure if the cost justifies the only upgrade this lens offers over my kit lens, portability. I was really glad I got it after all. I am using it with a Olympus E-PM2. Paired with the auto lens cap, it’s barely larger than my old point and shoot, except with much better picture quality. If you value portability, this is a no brainer.

Great value for the price
Bought this separate from the camera. Great price and worked exactly as it should. Great buy!

Enhances the Usability
The Olympus Air is definitely a niche product, but this mini-zoom lens makes this lens camera more useful.

Perfect size for a m43 camera- helps keep your overall camera setup smaller. Takes sharp photos. Great range of focal lengths through its zoom range. Getting the optional automatic closing lens cap really makes on the go photography quick and easy. Glad I bought it!

Buen objetivo , con una buena relación calidad – precio, originalmente lo compre para una m5 MkIII, PERO lo terminé usando en una m1 MKII, comparando con el Fuji 18-55 2.8-4, es curiosamente más luminoso este pequeño Olympus 3.5-5.6, con las mismas especificaciones de apertura, velocidad y distancia focal ajustadas a 35 mm de FF… recomendado ampliamente
