Surprisingly good!

Surprised by both the build and image quality of this lens. My only complain is the lack of seals, but for the price this is expected.

I wrote a comparison with the zuiko 50-200 + 1.4TC here:

Re: Surprisingly good!

I like mine, as well. I wish the zooming mechanism were smoother, but I can live with  it. Optically it's very good. For the focal lengths you get it's a bargain.
