It is a truly stunning lens. The only zoom lens I have ever owned where I genuinely don't have to think about stopping down to achieve truly sharp images into the corners at any focal length (and I've owned all the Nikon pro f2.8 zooms).

if you don't use it much on a tripod take the tripod foot and ring off and replace it with the dedicated Olympus beauty ring... it makes it feel much lighter and more compact.

Used with the 1.4tc it is still pretty sharp and fast focussing, but the bokeh becomes very nervous and quite often distracting with that combination.

Handling is beautiful and smooth and brings a smile to your face when you use it. Enjoy it... it is one of the best lenses on the market.

I actually love to use the tripod collar without ever mounting it...I use it as a handle sometimes to steady the lens when I'm shooting handheld.
