Amateur photographer myself, got this grip to use on my Olympus E-510, just a review of my so far thoughts and uses.

With this battery grip, do you notice any speed improvement (eg: Auto Focus swd lens) compare to original battery?

@vlsion09 Don't think so, it works through the USB port as the 510/520 has no dedicated grip, works same as the on camera shutter button.

Great review, thanks.

14-25 is one of their SuperHighGrade lenses, its f2.0 is fixed throughout the zoom range, where the 12-60mm at its widest is 2.8, and as you zoom closes to 4.0 minimum.

What the main differences between the 12-60 swd lens the top of the line 14-35mm f2.0 SWD for 2299.99??

[ApertureWolf]

Yes a lot, larger glass, better in low light, better elements and extremely sharp images, and uses the SWD motors for compatible bodies to have very fast focusing, and weather sealed.

Is that lens a lot different then the kit 14-42mm??

[ApertureWolf]

Zuiko12-60mm SWD, I also own the Zuiko 50-200mm, along with a 1.4x EC-14 teleconverter. It keeps me balanced, all I lack is a macro lens, but then I haven't had the eye or subjects for using one.
