Value for Money

Priced at around £260, this lens represents reasonably good value for money, given the closest equivalent for Micro Four Thirds cameras is the Panasonic 45-175mm f/4-5.6 X lens, which retails at around £320.

Those after a little more reach at the telephoto end may also consider the Panasonic 45-200mm f/4-5.6, which retails for around £250.

The closest equivalent from Olympus is the 40-150mm f/4-5.6 lens which retails for around £229. However when used on a Panasonic camera, the benefit of Image Stabilisation is lost, as Olympus build this feature into their camera bodies.
