When you say that it focuses slowly, would you be able to compare it against something? I know it won't be as fast as the 45/1.8, but how's the focus compare to the 50-200 SWD, whose biggest fault is re-acquiring focus when you drift off target.

Much slower focusing than any SWD lens and prone to excursions out to infinity and then back which, because it's a macro takes awhile. It and the Zuiko 35/3.5 macro are perhaps the slowest of 4/3 lenses.

Cheers,
