10x zoom, allow to carry only one zoom . good image quality. very small size. good value for money AF fast and accurate on E30 and correct on E520

may be too slow in low light. use of stabilization or tripod mandatory for indoor photography .

Despite various reviews saying this lens is an average performer, I have found the image quality to be absolutely superb, as with the ease of use. The reason I chose this lens was to eliminate lens changes and that was accomplished.

Perhaps it could be a little wider, but its only a small point.

I already have this lens and at this price I was not going to miss out as I use it most of the time. I tend to leave it mounted on my main camera with all my good kit as the range is excellent and easily replaces the two lenses supplied which I use...

If you forget to lock the lens it can extend when carrying on the strap ( I use a wrist strap ) and could get knocked if you do not notice it.

easy to use/ very versitile lense- you dont have to change lenses very often

LIGHTWEIGHT AND SMALL

NOTHING

Easy to fit on and good smooth zoom motion.

We took this lens on safari as we wanted one all purpose lens. I have to say it fulfilled its role brilliantly - we took both imposing panoramas and managed to capture some incredibly detailed zoom pictures.

Beware it can be hard to get pictures in focus at maximum zoom unless you have a vrey steady hand!! But we managed in a 4x4 (when stopped) and it is more of a photography constraint than one of the lens itself.
