Thanks, I just did! $157 ... a bargain I think ...

Yeah, $160 is pretty good for that lens. I was happy with mine on my G6, the only reason I sold it was to fund my purchase of a 14-140 II (also a good lens, though it does exhibit shutter shock on the G6 with the mechanical shutter), which I sold when I got my 12-35/35-100 f/2.8 zooms.

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with the lens. The first time I saw it, I thought it was a toy. Looking at the images taken with it though, it is anything but a toy.

Nice to hear, I had the 14-140 a very nice lens, but too big for me ... I like the m/43 for the balance between performance and size ...
