I'd glue this on my camera

It is a very nice, extremely nice even lens, which for the newcomers to the Micro Four Thirds system will give you a 35mm equivalent of 24-80mm. I have found it extremely useful for doing any kinds of street, landscape, or portraiture photography.

I have had extensive experience using the manual focus ring, and it is extremely smooth and easy to use. I manually focus 100% of the time using this, and my other M43 lens, the Panasonic 35-100mm f/2.8.

I have not seen much difference in quality stopping down, but I still like to stop down to f/4 or 5.6, just for any hidden bargains that may arise when I get it into post. This lens can capture extremely sharp images.

Not much bad stuff I can say about this lens. It is built like a tank, but just like everything else in the micro four thirds arsenal, it is a miniature tank.

Pros: Easy to use, Compact, Build quality
