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). For the rest of us: Save the money, save some more and go for the Olympus 75 1.8.

An aperture pf f/4 ~ f/5.6  can still produce descent amount of DOF.
Do see samples below.
You must shoot this lens out in the correct application. Before you can appreciate it.
in my case, it is always included on my camera gear).
