SLR Gear has reviewed the new superzoom lens from Olympus for the Micro Four Thirds system. The lens is called Olympus 14-150mm f/4-5.6 ED M.Zuiko Digital and feature lightweight single-element internal focus units for quieter and more responsive autofocus. The focal length equals 28-300mm in the 35mm format. The lens is designed to fit the Micro Four Thirds system perfectly so let us hear what the reviewer at SLR Gear finds out about the lens.

SLR Gear ends up giving the Olympus 14-150mm f/4-5.6 ED M.Zuiko Digital a good review and they even say that the lens is very good, but it has a few shortcomings (like most superzoom lenses) like high chromatic aberrations at some focal lengths. The Olympus lens is not the sharpest lens that is ever produced but for a superzoom lens it is pretty sharp. If you are looking for a good walk-around lens for your Micro Four Thirds camera this Olympus lens might be your choice.
