Is it because I do not like slow telephoto zoom lenses?

Why so excited? was it the scoring alone?

Its an interesting thing here...

The OP paid nothing for the lens and doesn't much care for it.

Others have paid $99, $119, $149 and see great value for their investment.

No need to fixate on the score - re-read the review it is very short and terse, but ...

"The pictures are sharp enough, no reasonable pillow, no fugly bouquet. You get a 300mm compared to 35mm film - amazing and it is cheap.

It is just because it is a 5,6 on four thirds sensor. No indoor available light and a large depth of field.

That are the reasons why Olympus makes the 40-150 2.8 PRO (with a totally different price tag)."

I cannot see any particular reason to argue otherwise.
