This is a great all purpose lens that is very comfortable and easy to use if you prefer to hold the lens versus the camera body.
I just purchased this lens after having it on my wish list for years. So far I am very pleased. I like the weight and balance on my E-M10 as I prefer to hold the lens, not the body, and that was not possible with the original 14-42 EZ although that is a great lens for quick and compact use. The sharpness and clarity appear to be better than my legacy 75-150 Olympus OM lens that I have used for many years. The new lens gives me the advantage of wide angle without changing the lens. The 12-100 Pro would probably have been a better lens for my purposes but I couldn't justify the increased cost since this is not for professional use. This combined with my TG-5 gives me all-weather photography in any condition. A low light wide angle is next for indoor architectural and outdoor night street scenes.

Great lens value
I've have 5 different Oly lenses but I find that I use this one the most. It's versatile and sharp. I can use it for taking landscape pictures one minute and wildlife the next. The only reason I didn't give the full 5 stars is the widest aperture of f4.0-5.6 limits low light performance. If that is important to you, you can get the 40-150mm f2.8 Pro (a superb lens) but then you lose the wide angle of this lens. It's hard to beat this lens for the money though.

One is all I need.
I own two full -size camera bodies and numerous lens. I purchased this lens for two reasons. 1) I was going to a city where crime against tourists is common so I wanted something more discrete than the large zooms I have. 2) I took one of my full-sized cameras to Mongolia and it got filled with the super fine sand that is there. It managed to make it through the trip, but I had to get it professionally cleaned afterwards. I decided to get this lens and an OM-D E-M5 Mark II weatherproof body because of that. I am impressed with the size of the lens, how well-built it feels, and the range it covers. It is going to be my go to overseas travel lens and camera. Bon Voyage!

Versatile
I bought this lens with OM-D E-M1 as a starting kit, and had a lot of fun so far. I took it on my trip to Greece recently, and it delivered exceptional results especially in bright sunlight and cloudy conditions. I really like its reach, making it possible to capture plenty of interesting things at the distance, although aperture is significant trade-off here. I am going to buy some prime lenses soon to have better results in lower light conditions or better boken on longer focal lengths, but this lens is definitely going to stay on my camera most of the time. I use it for almost a year already, and still did not notice any wear or defects. Outstanding quality and performance!

Good Travel Lens
I purchased this lens to go with my E-M5 II for an all around travel lens for my wife to use on vacations. The E-M5 II feels better balanced in my hands with this lens attached with the optional grip attached on the camera.

A perfect all-in-one lens for all types of weather
This is my go to lens. A perfect all-in-one lens. I keep this weather-sealed lightweight workhorse on my weather-sealed OM-D E-M5 all the time. Let it rain.

What's not to like?
This lens came as a kit lens on my E-M1 and it does a good job in all situations. Nice focal length from wide to moderate zoom, and macro. I get nice detailed images every time with this lens, but it is particularly impressive close up and in macro mode.

This is a great lens
Fantastic lens. Very sharp. Weathersealed. Fantastic range of focal lengths from wide angle to telephoto. Very little need for additional lenses (unless you're after some specialty lens like a macro or super telephoto). Has a quality feel to the materials even though it's not a pro lens. Well worth every penny.

Very satisfied!
I used it as m'y only lens on a trip to Barcelona and liked it, the zoom covers all kind of situations, all my images are perfectly clear even in low light conditions. Altough it is a little big and prevent me to put it in m'y pocket, I would totally recommend it. I plan to buy a projective Lens: after 2 days of use with care I happened to scratch it at 3 places.

Nice General Purpose Lens, and Weather Proof is a MUST!
Nice super zoom lens! I love the weather proof design, and it's been out in the field a lot! I wouldn't consider a travel lens unless it WAS Weather Proof! I really wish it had a manual focus clutch. It's a great beginning lens with a super range! The weight is much better than other lenses with the same range! Great for travel! It does annoy when hunting for focus. I used it more when I realized my 12-40 didn't have enough zoom.

Very nice all around lens
I use this lens at family activities and during vacation travel. The zoom range is great. Unless you need a very long telephoto or very wide angle lens this lens does it all. Family activities included sports such as football and wrestling. Also used at birthdays Christmas, etc. I am very pleased with the build quality and the image quality. Be sure to get the hood it helps eliminate flare.

A weight off my shoulders
I'm just finding my way around the E-M1 after years of using Canon and the Fuji x series. I love the size and weight of the E-M1 and I get really nice images evey time with less post processing required. The ergonomics are on a par with Canon and much betterb than Fuji. The Fuji was bought as a smaller format alternative to the Canon, but with the X-T1 and the 16-55mm lens it ended up bigger and weighing a ton. With the E-M1, I have that smaller format I was looking for, and a camera that I just want to take out and use.

A travelers lens
Immensely useful, make sure that you use it with an OMD-EM10 or newer model so that fringing and CA's are controlled in camera. This and the 9mm body cap lens in your pocket make traveling light a breeze.

Good All Purpose Lens
Nice all-purpose lens. I had to boost my ISO quite a bit to get the shutter speed fast enough through a moving bus. I like the weather proofing, and didn't worry when it rained. Weather proofing was a requirement for purchase. This lens got me through the trip to Iceland and Norway. I could use just one lens at F22 for front to back sharpness, then work the zoom for distant images. Wish it had the manual focus clutch. A few times, I had to break out the m.zuiko 75-300mm. Wish we had a teleconverter for this lens.

Very good lens for travel and general use.
I purchased the 14-150 II lens specifically for travel during the summer. After using it for a short while it has turned out to be a much more useful and versatile lens than I expected. The focusing is quick and accurate. The lens is very sharp and has a very nice bokeh. Out of focus highlights have soft blended edges. I do not see vignetting at any focal length. There is a small amount of chromatic aberration at the long end but it is minor. This is a much better lens than the original m.4/3 14-150 which I tried and did not keep. In only two months it has become the primary lens on my e-m5.

I strongly recommend this go-to lens.
I really like this lens. This is definitely a step or two up from a kit lens. This is the lens that lives on my camera body 90 percent of the time. What keep this a 4 instead of 5 star lens is the speed, but then the pro lens is a bit out of my budget.

Small, lightweight, good reach
We bought the 14-150 mm f/4-5.6 II for my wife to use for general photography and travel. This is a great all purpose lens in a small, light, easy-to-handle package. It is more than meeting our expectations and its great to have a lens of this size and flexibility to offer the additional advantage of weathersealing. Overall, a wonderful little lens that my wife really enjoys using.

Excellent Utility Lens
The M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-150mm F4.0-5.6 II is a great lens for most situations. The range is great for wide angle, portrait or wildlife. It's a light weight lens that's easy to carry and use. I recently used this lens for some street photography and it performed very well. While I was at it, I got some really nice nice wide angle shots of some historical builds without having to change lenses. If you want to carry just one lens, this is the one for you!
