I bought this lens specifically to take photos of wild reptiles, but I admit I have even been photographing insects with it. I have been using it with an Oly E-M5 and have been blown away by the quality of the images produced. It is a substantially larger and heavier lens than the "Kit" 40-150 lens but when compared to the Nikon 80-200mm lens on a D7000 (my other kit) it is incredibly small and light. It feels like a quality lens and I have not been disappointed. It is sharp, it focuses quickly, quietly and closely. The bokeh is pleasing and the colours are great. I love this lens- for the sort of nature photography I do it is perfect- I can't fault it.

I did take off the tripod collar (I hope I don't lose it) as I rarely use a tripod- I usually use a tree and a bean bag- and I noticed the weight difference.

I love the hood design- the hood stays on all the time.

Wonderful lens, I'm very happy with mine.

Will you post some of your critter pics?
