Of all the Zuiko lenses I own (and I own the 7-14mm wide angle), this is perhaps my favourite to use. I bought it at the same time as my first SLR camera, the E-510 and back then in 2007 this lens only cost £140 - today it is nearer £200 and still well worth the money. You can get virtually on top of your subject for an extreme close up and it is extremely sharp, fast to focus and very light, so very portable. I love it.
