As others have said, it is not super sharp wide open, but becomes
very good by f4.  It is great for portraits.  Wide open I suppose it
could be used for good effect if a slighthly soft look was desired. 
I shot my mother-in-law's wedding with it and flash and the results
were great.  In test shots before hand I liked it much better than my
50mm1.8 (MIJ) with the flash.  Hard to describe, but seems to have a
wonderful tone.  Sorry, don't have an E-1.
