The fact that AdamT gives the optics good marks cemented the deal for me. I love this lens!

Anyone else like this lens?

Maybe I'm just easily led, but I sold my 14-45mm on the strength of AdamT's opinion. I should really have compared the two first but needed the money for an upgrade to the GX7 when Panasonic had their double cashback offer.

I haven't really tested it out thoroughly, but first impressions are good. Shame they had to lose the OIS switch though.

Yeah, I hate that - the more external controls, the better, so losing that and moving it into a menu is a real pain if you aren't the kind of shooter who always uses OIS. With the switch it is so much easier to check and change the setting.
