Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars by 108 users at B&H Photo Video

"I bought this at B&H moments after stepping off the train at Penn Station. It has been welded on my EP1 since. I used it in all trip from inside dark buildings, HD videos of Times Square to the skyline during the day. Great buy for all m4/3's owners."

"Haven't put the kit lens back on since the purchase, and have to push the teen aside to get to use the lens. The Depth of field enhancement in lowish light makes for great close ups as well"

"This lens does not have an Image Stabilizer and so, definitely benefits from IBIS of the EPL1."

This is a great lens for the price! The images are crisp, it operates great in low light situations with the f 1.7 ability, and it also very good with the use of depth of field techneques. It can be a lens that you put on an shot anything. The other great plus about this lens is whne it is attached the camera really becomes very portiable. I would recomend this lens to any macro 4/3rds camrea users it will be one of your most usefull lens. Last but almost the best part is that the price is not too expensive for the quality and fuctionality it produces. A MUST BUY!!
