I think it's good value. We actually bought it as an "add-on" to a package
deal on some other OM stuff, not really sure if it would get a lot of use,
but then with space at a premium I took it (with 135/2.8 and 1n body) on a
couple of recent OS trips to Singapore and Sri Lanka, where I used it a lot
with very good results. It also finds its way onto a body as a "default" lens
when not really sure what's going to come up next.
It is a bit slow though, as others have mentioned, but on balance I like
it and will keep using it.

PS congrats to the Poms on the Rugby World Cup -- that final play was a
stunner; could almost get to like rugby :-)
