A great handling lens.

Every so often I purchase a lens that I love using, such as Pentax limited 70mm, limited 15mm. The Olympus is such a lens. I use it with a Panasonic Lumix G6 camera. The sharpness and handling are really impressive. If only the G6 had in camera stabilisation (see Lumix GX7) !

It does sometimes hunt whilst focussing, but the results from it have rekindled my interest in Macro, it is also a useful lens for portraiture.

Previously I used my Pentax K5 with a very old Tokina 90mm macro (very heavy, manual focus lens).
