Overall

Cons: Lens hood mount is different than the older model, means you cannot use the RF-11 ring flash with it, even though the Olympus website says you can. Big and heavy for micro four-thirds use. A bit too much plastic for my taste, although sturdily done.
Pros: Sharp, fast, quick focusing, looks \"professional.\"
Summary: An all-around great lens, made greater on the latest micro four-thirds bodies (via adapter) with 5.5 stops of image stabilization. I never would have dreamed I could hand-hold a 400mm (equivalent) at 1/60th!

Cons: Lack of focusing range limiter (ie. < 3m, > 3m, > 7m...) Looks somewhat plastic and lame without the lens hood :D
Pros: Incredible focal length (50-200 means 100-400mm compared to full frame systems) Weather sealing Amazing IQ Great contrast and color handling Size Weight At least decent focusing speed, usually better =) Mounting collar is good Lens hood is big enough 50@100mm f2.8 is suitable for portraits
Summary: This is one those lenses you will fall in love. The results with this lens makes me use it for situations the focal length isn't really suitable (like tight indoors and such). Amazing piece of glass design! With this lens design the in-body image stabilization really shows its strengths.

Cons: A little heavy and the lens hood is enormous, but using a monopod seems to help take the load off.
Pros: Super sharp resolution and tack sharp focusing. Excellent DOF with wide open appetures. Extremely fast and quiet focusing. Water and dust resistant.
Summary: This lens is a gem and I use it quite often for sporting events, nature, wildlife, macros, and portraits. The 50-200mm is a perfect match with the 12-60mm and together they cover 95% of the shooting that I do.

Cons: Bigger and heavier than the 40-150mm kit lens but absolutly worth it.
Pros: Perfect match for the 12-60mm. The two of them cover 24-400mm equivalent and are both very good lenses.
Summary: The 12-60mm and the 50-200mm are the two best reasons for owning Olympus. Small very high quality lenses.
