Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by 8 users at B&H Photo Video

"I'm using this lens as the primary now on my EP-2. It's "less" therefore more! When I need a quick shot and use the EP-2 for its great resolution/file size in raw, this lens is the answer."

"A very nice light compact lens to make your EP1 an "almost pocket camera." "

"This lens has some noise in video mode."
