Olympus 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 Zuiko Digital review by logbi77

 

This lens is a great lens. I bought this lens used, and it is quite good in terms of image quality, sharp across the frame. It is also relatively cheap and better in comparison to the other manufacturer's offerings in relation to focal length (28-108mm...

Olympus 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 Zuiko Digital review by lextalionis

 

This is a versitle lens...macro, landscape, portrait, the works! Sharp, good color and contrast.

To nit-pick, the lens is a bit soft at the edges wide-open

Olympus 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 Zuiko Digital review by kubler

 

Excellent walk-around lens, sits on my E-510 most of the time. The f2.8 is satisfactory most of the time, focusing even at low light levels has not been a problem like the 14-42 kit lens. Overall, a vast improvement.

Well built, sharp & good contrast

Olympus 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 Zuiko Digital review by MartinM

 

Noting to complain at all. This lens first perfect on my e520. Although it does not support contrast AF, the way i use it, OVF, does not matter.

Sharp, fast AF, good focal length

a bit heavy, old lens cap

Olympus 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 Zuiko Digital review by swintonphoto

 

I have been using this lens for a year and a half and I couldn't be happier. It brings incredibly sharp results and has a great max aperture. Considering the wide max aperture, the lens is surprisingly small. While it is much larger than the kit...

Excellent max aperture, excellent build quality, excellent image quality

Excellent pro lens!

 

This lens is amazing. Incredibly sharp even wide open at F2! It only gets sharper as you stop down. At F8 it is as sharp as the legendary 50mm F2 Macro! Even though it is big it focuses very fast and is quite. If you can afford it, the stellar lens...

Olympus 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 Zuiko Digital review by Magnus

 

Lens delivers good results at 5,6 - 11 and this at f4.0 .... well so did my Oly kit lens. I bought this for the speed but 2.8 changes to 3.5 rather quickly and shooting 14mm or 54mm at highest aperature doesn't produce any crispness. Certainly not...

Olympus 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 Zuiko Digital review by ailame

 

Universal and reliable lens I carry with me all the time. At wide open side (f2.8-3.5) it delivers less then crispy-sharp results. However, starting f4-5 the output becomes to be comparable to fix focus 50mm f2.0. So if light conditions allows it I...

this Oly kit lens is much much better than kit lenses provided with other manufactures

bit soft when open at its max

Olympus 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 Zuiko Digital review by kmyren

 

I purchased the E-500 after a lot of research and testing. Being relatively new to DSLR I still have lots of questions. I have learned to carry a small note pad to take notes and it really helps me get better. Now you add Photoshop in the mix and set...

Better glass then the kit lens. Almost everything about this lens is prefect and how it interacts with the E-500

Nothing so far - taking a lot od pictures using different setting
