Is this a good lens?

[George.d(^^,)b]

Hi all, for a year now I've been using a very basic 14-42mm lens with my olympus e-420 and now I'm looking to save up and get a new one.. I found this on ebay (Item number: 380213418899) (OLYMPUS-ZUIKO-DIGITAL-40-150mm-ZOOM-LENS-40-150mm) Will this give me a more options? I don't understand how the lenses work, I just know mine doesent zoom very far and I'd like it too.. I thought that was a good price as well because from what ive seen and heard olympus usually charges a lot for its lenses..

Hi George - that link isnt working! Do you mean this lens;

If so its not a bad lens at all, especially for the price. I've only read customer reveiws which IMO are sometimes more important than the 'pro' reviews and people seem to rate it highly. It wont give you the best possible quality but for what you need (going by the other thread we conversed in!) it should be more than good enough! Shop around though as prices for this vary quite a bit.
