I bought this lens for my Olympus e-510 three months ago and waited to see its performance before writing this review. I hope it would be helpful for the readers.

First I must tell that it is fully compatible with my Olympus e510 and it is perfoming very well. If you have any doubt about its compatibility with your camera, I strongly recommend you to visit Sigma official web site to read the "zoom products'" specification table. You can detailed information about the Sigma lenses and their compatibility issues.

This lens's 4/3 feature empowers the zoom to a great extend, the 35mm equilivance of that is 110mm to 400mm. That means you can do anything you want with such a powerful zoom.

The picture quality is excellent, the lens has both Manual and Auto focus feature so it lets you to become the part of the picture. I bought my Olympus Evolt E510 with 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Zuiko Lens from Amazon.com. Then I bought Sigma 55-200mm instead of 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 Zuiko. I paid couple of dollars more but got 50mm more (100mm for 35mm equilivance or 4x optic) well and very happy with my decision.

It's a good product and Great value for the money paid!

Very nice lens for the money. Completely satisfied, pictures are very good, even at the 200mm range. Needs a lot of light for good pictures due to high aperture numbers, but for the price, excellant.
