No test results, but I own one.  My personal experience is that it's rapidly 
becoming my favorite all-around, "I'm only able to take one lens with me so 
which shall it be?" type of lens.  When I go two lenses, I also throw in the 
Zuiko 90mm 2.0 macro.

I particularly like the 28/2.0 indoors in relatively cramped environments -- 
seems to me that it introduces minimal distortion while providing good 
coverage.  The 21/2.0 I own is great, but anywhere there are human-made objects 
in the scene near the edges, you can really see the distortion.
