Five star product, but, (and it's a big but)... September 6, 2008

I actually decided not to buy this, and bought the 35mm version instead. It's still an Olympus, it does great macro, it costs less than half what this one costs, and it's actually more usable as a stand-by 35mm, (70mm in old speak) lens, it's not too tele-photo, whereas this lens comes out at 100mm in old speak, and it is definitely a tele-photo lens and would not be much good as a stand-by.
Now this lens has a better luminosity, f2 against f3.5, than its cheaper brother, so it'll work better in low-light conditions. But there again it will give you less depth of field, so focussing on all a subject might be less fun than with the cheaper lens.
There you go: two fabulous Olympus lens. One is half the price of the other, but they don't do precisely the same job. They both have weak and strong points when directly compared. Enjoy choosing! (I'm a coward: I hooked each up to my E420 body, right there in the store, and let them "make" the decision for me...)
A gem - no four thirds user should be without it August 24, 2008

If you only use zoom lenses this will be a revelation. Perfect for both pictures of people and macro work or anytime you need a faster lens. A great bargain and should be the first lens you buy after the kit lenses.
Great Service August 23, 2008

I purchased this lens for use with my E3 and it continues to impress me. I have taken some very very good flower shots with the E3 and the 50mm lens
An excellent lens for a variety of settings July 28, 2008

I've always wanted to get super clear macro shots and this lens really delivers! It's the first lens I purchased to supplement the kit lenses that came with my E500 and it has expanded my shooting options dramatically. It's a great lens not only for macro shots but also for close-in shots of individuals or small groups.
