Value For Money

At around £600, the price of this lens is almost the same as what its predecessor sold for at launch. If you don't mind the slightly slower maximum aperture and slightly reduced performance on the whole, then the older lens can be picked up for around £470.

Those who want a lens to cover this range for less money have the Olympus 14-150mm as an option. This lens costs around £400 but lacks optical stabilisation, which may not be too much off a loss if your Micro Four Thirds camera already has stabilisation built into the body.
