AF is Fast when with Olympus Body
Convenient, no more lens switching
Good tele-portrait lens at 70-150mm range.
Very low market price as of today

Not weather sealed
Vulnerable to dust, splash and mold if not handled properly
Why don't include Lens Hood and Lens Bag, Olympus?
Image quality not as good at wide end when F4
Aperture shrinks too fast at wide end from 14-45mm range

Thanks to a generous ching who sold this super zoom to me.
First impression is that this lens is super easy to use. It covers almost all common used zoom range, has very reliable, snappy AF and of course decent image quality that match the kit lens like the 14-42mm II, 14-42mm II R, 12-50mm EZ and the 14-42mm EZ at wide open.
Stepping aperture up to F5.6-8, the lens starts producing image quality that match 14-45mm Lumix G Lens, if not better. The effect of refraction kicks in when F value is over F8. If you are a lazy guy like me, try set the aperture at F5.6 constant, so you don't need to worry about degradation of IQ at wide end.
One main disappointment of this lens is its apertures drops too fast at wide end. Starting from F4 at 14mm, the aperture shrunk to F4.7 (-1/2 Step) @25mm and to F5.4 @45mm (-2/3Step), render it not useful at wide-to- standard portrait and poor light gathering at wide end. The aperture stabilizes at 70mm till 100mm and slightly shrunk to F5.6 at 150mm. Such feature allow the lens be good portrait lens at 70mm-150mm range.
Frankly, this is the second time buying this lens. I sold my first very same lens because I feel owning a superzoom lens is "not cool" or "being amateur" so I should stick with Pro Lens and Prime lens.
"What's the point of doing photography if you do not enjoy it?"
As time goes by, I realize I enjoyed photography in flexible manners. It is not I don't know what focal length should I use, but rather I want to use all the focal lengths to cover the types of photography without the need of changing lens often.
Travelling is my greatest hobby ever, and you simply cannot switch lenses when travelling with others or taking group photos with friends. Especially, considering that most of them has no understanding in photography. Furthermore, if you spend too much time taking photos, how can you enjoy the food, the people and the culture of the destination? Travelling light means travelling more.
Therefore, I sold some of my prime lens and keep only 20mm F1.7 and 45mm F1.8 in case of low light environment or portrait oriented setup are needed.
My 12-50mm EZ lens also sold to other after discovering its limitations on low-light condition and very disappointed bokeh effect. Don't get me wrong, 12-50mm EZ is still a good lens for rookie still searching their photography needs thanks to its wide coverage, extreme reliability, integrated Marco and various control methods. However, for experienced photographer like me, 12-50mm feels like eggs placed in too many baskets, making it lack of outstanding features to be embraced.
In short 12-50mm has lots of features but not doing any of them outstandingly. Contrarily, the 14-150mm is a dedicated lens to shoot still images, offering better IQ, better coverage and better bokeh especially at tele-end, making it one of the best travel lens for those with limited budget.
I would recommend amateur photographers who demands flexibility to try out the M43 super zooms, especially this 14-150mm lens. The lens offers best flexibility of all, high quality images at a budget. Recent market disruption also implies people are ditching M43 camera in favor of FF mirrorless cameras in coming years, making previously expensive M43 lenses now at attractive price range.

2.冇Lens Lock，用耐不知會不會垂頭。

評價:
用過Nikon 1代18-200mm天涯鏡，雖然畫質不錯，但其wide端的變形見不得人。但O記此天涯鏡這方面做得好。剛帶着它去旅行返來，由於EM5的機身防震出色，睇返相片頗滿意。今後去旅行一支天涯鏡，一支定焦35mm/f1.8再加支12mm/f2搞定，既輕便，又可保証質素。
優點:
1. 覆蓋範圍由近對遠，一支鏡搞掂哂。
2. 輕
3. 影人成像好正，ZOOM到盡都唔係問題(日相)

缺點:
1. 貴又唔連HOOD (吸水鏡)，係星X買4880。
2. 影夜景感覺麻麻地，特別係135mm焦距以上(唔知係唔係我技術問題=.=)

評價:
一個字"正"，成像銳利唔失禮，焦距覆蓋範圍大(28-300)。
優點:
1）一鏡走天涯，支 14-42 kit 可以「下崗」。
2）輕，真係輕，用過P記 14-140 你就會知，配落PEN機就好 balance。
3）對焦速度尚算快，亦算寧靜。
4）最近對焦距離為0.5米，亦算方便。
5）試過130mm打後影人，散景不失禮。

缺點:
1）膠感重，當然針無兩頭利，又要輕，又要金屬感，邊度有咁理想。
2）貴，比單反天涯鏡還貴，我覺得四千樓下會比較值。
3）無Hood跟，要自己買，又係cap水技倆。

入了這鏡都有大半年時間，同我去過幾次本地及外地旅行，比我既感覺係同E-PL2好夾，好多時我都會帶埋支P20.7一齊出去，但係講老實話，呢支14-150會係長插的。
旅行鏡就係旅行鏡，必定係以方便輕巧為主，如果要講甚麼好的級數、成像、散境，sorry，呢支鏡唔係你既菜，但係我可以好肯定同你講，呢支鏡佢會好老老實實地做番旅行鏡應有的角色，絕對唔會搞到你在最關鍵時候因為要換鏡而搞到「嗱手唔成勢」。
好多師兄影友會成日recommend人出去會背些定焦靚鏡，但係，無可否認，亦有好多朋友出去玩只能背些簡單器材（我就是這類拍友），點解？老婆唔鍾意。唔好睇少呢個原因，當你同你另一半出去玩，為的是開心，而唔係為左因為左一袋又一袋的器材而嘈交，如果你一心同另一半去玩，就係為左要D定焦鏡換來換去而嘈交，人或境有幾靚，再靚既鏡都唔會影得好。
這支鏡只會帶比你方便，而唔會搞到你有麻煩的老實鏡。
