Agreed, absolutely

it is weather sealed and it is tiny and it focuses in an instant on my EM-1. I've found it most useful for street photography, as a travel lens and useful in low light. It's only fault for me is that it doesn't focus very close which would be nice to have for some things. Otherwise it's excellent.

I'm not trying to be contentious, but this is kinda close.

I have the Oly 40~150 but it's too big

Again, I agree, which is my I can't see myself buying it for a long time yet, if ever.

to use for much of what I do and so I use the Panny. When the extra reach is needed then the Oly is fine.
