It is available locally for $250, supposedly unused. I like the 12mm wide end but not f6.3 at 50mm and the large size of lens, specially when mounted on my E-PM2. I have Oly 14-42, Sigma 19mm, Sigma 30mm and Konica 50mm 1.8

What is wrong with F6.3 at 50mm, most other kit lenses are F5.6 at 42mm, the difference is a tiny 1/3 of a stop.

Also the lens is not large, its no bigger than my original Panasonic 14-42.
