I have an e-510 and have been just using the kit lenses for the past year and had this one saved in my amazon cart for about that long. Glad I waited as with the rebate now in effect on the 70-300mm lens the price was just too hard to resist and having watched its price remain a steady 80 dollars or so above what it is now for the past year I would recommed others who are on the fence to get it now.
I was impressed by the build and heft of this lens. Better then the kit lenses by far. Really gives my e-510 reach now. I also have a Canon T1i (I wanted the video function) and the 55-250mm lens for that. The build on the Olympus is much better. (I do like the canon as well though, just a noticeable build quality difference in the two lens) The pics with this lens are very good, although at 300mm in anything less the full light I can tell the IS system is at its limits and some shots will be spot on and others just a bit off do to my inablity to steady handhold at that range. I would highly recommend this lens to Oly users as you are getting a very nicely built lens with a lot of reach for a very good price.

I am very pleased with the durability of this lens and the excellent photos it delivers. I've photographed various events ranging from soccer games in the rain to musical concerts in a dimly lit hall to bright fall landscapes, and all of my photos come out sharp. The lens is a great asset to any Olympus SLR.

"You can't expect more from a long lens without paying 3X more!"
I have owned this lens for about one month. During this time I have used it daily to test it's capabilities as a long focal length lens, as a macro lens, and as a portrait lens. After learning it's limitations I am nothing but pleased with the results that I achieve with this lens. Just be aware:
* You should be experienced at shooting with long lenses.
* You cannot expect good results in poorly lit environments.
* You cannot shoot fast moving targets at long focal distances without difficulty.
* You will normally have a higher percentage of blurry shots than with shorter lens.
* The auto focus will start to hunt if you don't place the sensor spot directly on the subject.
* The focus speed is not as fast as with shorter lenses with a larger apertures.
I would recommend this lens to experienced photographers or novices that are willing to take the time to learn how to use it. It is a real bargain (usually priced below $350.00) and it will perform like lenses costing up to three times as much. Happy shooting!

I have had this lens for a month now, and couldn't be happier. My daughter is a senior and use this lens photographing her soccer games. It is sharp and clear, focuses great, and has great reach. It is a wonderful Four-Thirds lens.
My first impression of this lens was its size and weight; it is big. At about 1.4 lbs it outweighs my E510 camera body and at 3.5" wide and almost 6" long with a filter it takes a lot of room in the camera bag. There is only one reason to get this lens and that is for its extended zoom range, about twice that of the 40 - 150 mm kit lens. In 35 mm equivalents this lens zooms from 140 - 600 mm. It is an ideal lens for outdoor wildlife photography. However, like all "long" lenses this is a large and heavy piece of equipment and is difficult to tote on hikes. Also, like all "long" lenses, this lens requires more thought when using than shorter lenses. Whereas image stabilization helps to minimize blurring as a result of shake, it is still best to set the camera on shutter priority and dial in a speed of at least 1/500th of a second. Then adjust the ISO and aperture as appropriate. It is better to have some noise from a high ISO or softness from a wide open aperture then have to deal with blur from shake. My E510 seems to be aware when this long lens is used and increases the speed a little, but not nearly enough to compensate for the length of the lens.
I've only taken about 100 pictures with the lens and so far I have been very please with the results. As expected, it is very good at distance shots. What I hadn't expected is that it is also good at close-ups from a distance. I took a picture of a large bee on a flower from about 7' away and the flower and pattern on the bee's wings were crystal clear. The depth of field, as expected, was very narrow. As several other reviewers have pointed out this is not a very fast lens. It rapidly stops down from f4 to f5.6 when you zoom. Hence, my comment that the lens is best used for outdoor photography, especially in full sunlight where f5.6 is not a problem. Given the limitations noted above, I strongly recommend this lens. However, if you are a novice, to get the best results, be prepared to use settings other than AUTO and to learn something about the camera. If you are a hiker and want the capability of a long lens I would seriously consider a superzoom camera (they are about the same price as this lens). The quality may not be as good, but they are much easier to lug around.
