I have an original 14-54 "Standard 4/3" lens (not optimized for Contrast
Detect). I've tried it a few times on my E-M5. It goes
"chik-chik-brrrrrrrt" and converges into focus in about 1.5-2 seconds.
Too slow for people and critters, but fine for stationary stuff. The
optical quality is very good--Oly made that lens for more megapixels
than the E-1 it came with.
I met another E-M5 owner at the Naples, Florida botanical gardens last
week--he saw I had the same camera and wanted to compare notes. He was
using the Mark II 14-54. He said the combination was great, the lens
rarely came off the camera, and he'd even shot a couple of weddings with
it.
I'm currently trying to decide whether to keep or sell the lens, since I
mostly use the fast Oly/Panny primes and occasionally the old, slow
14-45 Panny zoom from my original G1. I won't be using it much on the
E-M5 because of the AF slowness, and also because I use a John Milich
grip on the E-M5. My big long fingers get stuck between the grip and the
lens. :-)
What I do will probably depend on whether I upgrade(?) to an E-M1 or
not, and the jury is still out on that.
