It's a fast focuser on a M43 body (CDAF enabled), decently sharp, and they're maybe $200 on the used market. Add another $100 for a M43 to 43 adapter, and you're still way ahead.

The ZD 70-300 is indeed a very decent lens.   I give some examples and experience with it on the E-M5 here.  But it is definitely not a fast focuser on the E-M5.  It homes in on an accurate focus with three hunts: over, under, on -- in just about the time it takes to say those words.  It would be good for static shots.
