Panasonic Lumix G Vario 45-150mm f/4.0-5.6 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S. Lens (Black, Micro Four Thirds)

I bought this since did not mentioned used one.But it was wrapped with vinyl. Seems refurbished

This is a great lens for the price. The optics appear to be superior to the Olympus 40-150, although you pay a penalty in weight and some added cost. I am using this lens on an Olympus EM-5, and overall I am very pleased with it as a modest upgrade over the Olympus lens.Neither lens is bright enough, but for that you have to pay an even higher penalty in weight and cost. If you prefer a lighter lens, the Olympus 40-150 is still quite good, and the improvement in quality by moving to the Panasonic is modest. I am willing to accept a somewhat heavier lens for just that added bit of sharpness.

Not only did the lens have a dent, the stabilization doesn't work with my gh5 either. Unfortunately I was new to the m43 system and didn't notice these two things at first. I actually use it, but I still feel a little cheated.

A very nice lens for the price. Definitely worth the $50 more than the comparable Olympus model, especially if you have a Panasonic Camera, because of its sturdy build, and OIS. Image quality is very good for the price, and meets all my expectations.

Using on Olympus OMD Mark5 2 and bought over Olympus equivalent b/c of other Amazon reviews. Haven't tried its stabilization feature b/c of the camera. I like it. Good pics, fast focus and seems to be built well.

Acceptable zoom lens with a rather narrow field of vision.

I Use it all The Time.
