It takes good photos

I love this lens because it takes clear focused photos even at 200mm hand held and at my age that is wonderful

However, it doesn't take the sharpest photos even compared to my Oly M. Zuiko EZ kit lens

I take photos for our company -- so not a professional photographer, but I do need capture website-worthy photos that are ready for marketing brochures

Captured some cool photos with it.

Brilliant photo quality, great value for money

The photos are beautiful

Small, lightweight and takes great photos.

OIS is great and necessary for handheld at 200mm otherwise even at 1/1000 speed I get blurry photos

If i had to buy my first lens for the camera i'd probably pick up the 14-140mm vs. this one since with that you don't really have to deal with changing lenses or miss any photos

Coming from those kit lenses, the first thing I noticed is how tack sharp the photos are.

It takes great photos and videos on my G7

I took some fine photos of strdavarius violins right off--beautiful, shimmering images.

I just love taking photos, especially with stuff that works so well, and especially at a

Sharp photos and video

It's a HUGE improvement in speed and sound compared to Olympus kit lens that comes with their u4/3 cameras.--I've had problems taking low light photos as it struggles to focus on subjects, especially when zoomed in

This lens, in combination with the camera, has given me some of the nicest photos quality-wise that I have taken

The auto focus can seem to hunt around a bit, depending, but it hasn't failed to lock in and take great photos, especially in low light

I happened to spot some deer on the way home, so I stopped the car, changed the lens, stepped out, and was able to take some decent photos of the animals as they maneuvered through the treeline

Making great photos!

I just like having good photos around and then lens is very versatile.

I've taken some great photos with it, I use it more than the kit lens

Some of my best photos have come from this lens, and it feels right at home on smaller bodies

But I still recommend it for tripod/gimble work and of course photos

this lens gives great photos and softens the background.

It takes amazing photos

Poor photo quality

Assumed the photos would all be blurry, I was just messing around, learning to handle the lens

With a table table tripod (709B for example), this 45/200 mm lens and a GF1 - one easily put together a great, compact kit for shooting excellent video - as well as for taking pretty decent photos.
