Having returned the Olympus f1.8 45mm prime lens because of stability issues when used on the Panasonic Lumix GH2, I have no reservations in recommending this lens as a replacement. Olympus have no "Optical Image Stabilisation" unless it's used on an Olympus body! I thought I could overcome this with careful handling, but I had not taken into account that I wanted this for video work primarily. Judder was impossible to eliminate unless the camera was tripod mounted. Stills were ok due to an increased shutter speed but movies were impossible without a tripod. If your main requirement was for still images the lens is great, but when used for "run and gun" work you will have to carry a cumbersome tripod if your using a Lumix.

The 45-150mm is the logical "next buy" after your kit lens for a M4/3 camera. This takes off where the kit lens reaches - 42mm/45mm and extends up to 150mm. Few of us need more than 300mm full-frame equivalent that this gives with M4/3 cameras. The weight and size advantage of the 45-150mm over the 45-200mm Lumix lens is significant - making it a great choice to fit into a small camera bag. It also shares the 52mm filter thread of the 14-42mm mark II - meaning you need only one size of lens filters. The tests show that rosolution is at optimum even at the widest aperture and is never less than "good" over the whole range. The AF is quick and accurate. The OIS is worth 3 stops for me.

This is a really super-compact lens. So small that those of us used to the older SLR lenses might find it quite a surprise. I certainly did. The fact that you have a 90-300mm equivalent in such a tiny package, with image stabilisation, no less, is truly remarkable. I am using it on the GH4, where it performs extremely well for both stills and 4K video. Flare is minimal and sharpness very good. Not quite in the class of the phenomenal 12-35 Vario 2.8, but certainly adequate for most things. The main benefit is quite simply that where previously, you may not have taken a 90-300 equivalent along, now you can, and you can certainly grab some great shots with it. Build quality is decent,

I bought a 45-200mm for my Lumix GF3, thinking I would benefit from the extra 50mm (100mm) at the top end - but was disappointed by the weight, which means I'm holding a lens, with a camera on the back! So, I bought this 45-150mm to go on my super-new Lumix GM1, and I couldn't be more ecstatic. This is a cracking lens, it's lightweight, flexible, and perfectly balanced with the GM1. Not that I dislike the standard 12-32mm lens, but may have to get a second body, so I'm not swapping lenses the whole time. Only shortcoming is close-up focusing, but now have 45mm Leica Macro to make up for this. Couldn't be happier with entire kit!

I really like this lens and have used it a lot. The build quality is also good, and gives a lot of confidence. It’s possible to take sharp photos at maximum aperture at all focal lengths. It’s easy to carry. The controls are smoothly engineered.The only small issue I have in use with my GX80 camera is that the dual IS (where the IS systems of the lens and camera work in tandem for extra effect) results in the image shifting unless the camera is held very steady. This means I get a sharp image which doesn’t quite have the same framing as I’ve chosen. With my other cameras that don’t have in-body IS, this doesn’t happen.

An excellent lens for the price. Small and light considering the specifications i.e. 45-150mm zoom (equivalent to 90-300mm for full size SLR camera/lens). Bought for a touring holiday in Sri Lanka and more than justified the purchase.
