from Used at KEH.com in E Summary: Got this lens recently and it took less than one week to became my all-time favorite. It helped me produce the best pictures I've ever taken, used both as a standard lens and as a semi-macro. This lens has a terrific "character", producing images that not only have an excellent resolution and contrast, but a unique feel which cannot be conveyed in words (y'know, something like all that talking about Leica magic). Definitely a top performer and a lens I'll never get rid of. Justifies the buying of an Olympus body only to be used and appreciated. Strengths: Build quality, optical performances, macro feature, speed (especially as a macro lens), versatility, consistency of results in every shooting conditions. Weaknesses: Handling (looks *big* on an OM-4Ti), price, availability. In addition it shares with the Zuiko 100mm f/2.0 a tendency to collect dust inside because of its rear group recessing deeply into the lens barrel when focused to close objects.
