Is the tamron 14 150mm f 3 5 5 8 di iii worth it?

It's worth it if you want one lens that covers almost everything on Micro Four Thirds and you don't mind a slow aperture. This travel zoom runs 14-150mm at f/3.5-5.8, has autofocus, and frames roughly like a 28-300mm on full frame. It's discontinued, so check used prices before you buy.

The trade-offs are that it gets darker as you zoom, it won't give much background blur, and the lens itself isn't stabilised.

It fits a long list of bodies. Good pairings include the OM System OM-5 Mark II for a small, light travel kit, and the Panasonic Lumix G85 if you want a classic all-rounder. The OM System OM-1 Mark II is there if you want the flagship body.

If you care more about shallow depth of field or low light, a faster prime will serve you better. The focal length guide can help you decide which range you need.
