The Olympus 14-150mm f4-5.6 II isn't the company's sharpest lens, but it's probably their most useful. See our review.

The Olympus M.Zuiko ED 14-150mm f4.0-5.6 II adds weather sealing, but doesn't offer any optical advantages over the first version of the lens.

Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 14-150mm F4.0-5.6 II lens review: Promising all-round option?

As an equivalent to a 28-300mm, this mark II version is an update to the earlier retro-looking model by the same name. It features the darkened chrome cosmetics and finely-machined zoom and focus rings of the maker’s pro-oriented models, and now includes dust- and splash-proofing and new coatings. Read on to find out how well this new model performs.
