Hi Jim,
Like Martin, I use this lens (the HSM version) on my D300. In fact that is my default lens. I am surprised at how few reviews are available of this lens, but I for one have no complaints. I find it quite sharp, fast-focusing and of course with the D300 there is no chromatic aberration. If it’s the same formula on 4/3rds I would say you have nothing to lose.

I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Kind regards,
David

I should of course have said I beleive this to be the same lens just modified for 4/3rds. cameras.I could be wrong….

Hope you had a great Christmas Jim!

I have used the Sigma 18-50 on both my Fuji S3 and Nikon D300 and would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone,although pro spec glass is outside my budget,so I have nothing to compare it with.It is certainly a step above the Nikon kit lens.It does perform better on the Fuji for some reason but is still a good performer on both bodies.

You can,if you so wish,view one of my images,taken with this lens,here;

Here’s hoping you have a successful New Year,

Martin.
