Overall im very happy with my purchase of this lens. Great lens in bright light. More difficult to manage in low light. My olympus E-500 camera can hardly autofocus this lens at all. Spherical aberration from the glass makes the crop zoom ineffective. So what you see on your exposure is about all you can get out of it. Which is still great clear crisp shot. All round a good lens, but it is limited, dont expect miracles. Just remember this is on zuikos "budget-lens" list.
