I like, or would like, this lens a lot too if it didn't cause banding with my E-M5 (also on several other m4/3 bodies). Did all those reviews mention that? If not then I suppose one must take *everyone's* review with a bit of salt since all reviews miss some things or choose not to mention them.

I trust professional reviews, and I'm very critical to all these "findings" and "apparent issues" here, on the forum.

Banding of 1.7/20 is a .. well... myth, non-existing issue. Sure, you have all your rights to think differently, but. please, use your own experience.
