Everybody seems to love it. Add me. It's a very nice lens to have.
I haven't done any serious testing, but it seems more flare
resistant than all of the OM 35-70 zooms. It's smaller than a lot
of makes' normal lenses. The f/4 is a bit slow. On the wide end,
you really need f/2 (or better) for cases where you isolate the
subject. It's good as a single lens, and makes a nice fit with a
tele zoom. With the 65-200/4, for example, you get 28-200 (with an
inconsequential gap) at f/4 constant aperture. Look for one with a
hood -- they're almost impossible to find.
