Just found this one lying in a drawer. Used to use it with my GH2.

Tried it on the EM-1. While it's weird, in that frame rate goes down when you go wide-angle, and back up when you zoom in, the sharpness is quite good, though not in the same league, of course, as the 40-150 Oly 2.8 And it doesn't seem appreciably worse than the Oly 12-40 2.8 (though it has a smaller fstop, 3.5, and quickly to 5.6, so not much good in very low light).

This was a good lens!

Hmmm.  Now it makes me wonder if it's worth to upgrade to the pro lens at all.

I do enjoy the kit lens.

Best
