Olympus 18-180mm on the E-P5 ...
3

Olympus' 18-180mm "super zoom" wasn't ever considered one of Olympus' better efforts. But my copy proved itself time and time again to be an exceptional performer on my E-5. It was my all-around lens when traveling; sharp, detailed and rich in color.

I just finished trying it out on my E-P5 (with adapter) and find it to be equally as good on that camera as on my E-5 ... except for the auto-focus, which is on the slow side and every once in a while, not accurate. Manual focus, though, is a breeze with this camera/lens combination.

It's a heavyish lens and makes for a heavyish combination, but still easy to carry ... easier than with the E-5!

Here are some samples:
