I get tired of hearing recommendations on forums for Canon and Nikon. I use both makes and others and think that the Olympus kit lenses offer a lot higher quality than people would expect. So here are some samples. They were all taken with the telephoto zoom from the two lens kit. That means 40 to 150mm (80 to 300mm in 35mm film terms) and f/3·5 to f/4·5 at the widest.

People who think you need high ISO settings for fast moving objects should look at the EXIF and also bear in mind that for the pictures of aircraft the camera was hand held.

All the pictures show jpg's just as they came out of the camera; an Olympus E-500
