Review: This is a very good quality lens considering cost and light weight. Performance is excellent at f/6.3-11. It's a little slow to focus at 300mm and in low light, but once it locks on focus of a moving target it maintains focus extremely well. It's excellent for wildlife photography when combined with the lightweight E-510 for the equivalent of a 140-600mm lens.
