I have one. It is the standard lens I leave on my Om-2n. Used to use a
Tamron 28-200, but my eyes couldn't always agree with the focus screen (my
age, I hope). Anyway, bought a Series 1 on eBay and love it. I'd say that
it does have some tendency towards flare, but I'm careful with it.
I love the way it snaps into focus compared to the Tamron. Quite a
solid-feeling lens.
Paid ~$60 for mine, but it was because it was poorly described and there
were no bidders. I took a chance, held my breath and was pleasantly
surprised.
