You bet! Mine performs order of magnitude better than the Viv70-210/2.8-4.
It is a very good compliment of a, say, 35-70 Zuiko. I haven't noticed the
vignetting that had been told, but maybe I don't use it wide open. The
vignetting on Viv70-210 is noticable, even from the finder. The 85-250 is
legendary (and too big), but I have no chance to compare them.
