User profile: Amateur
Cons: A bit over-priced perhaps, but otherwise none.
Pros: Fast, extremely sharp and bright with good colour rendition. One of the few stand out lenses I've tried that because of it's compact size and quality fully justifies the choice of the M43 system. Hopefully this will set the standard for others to follow.
Summary: Virtually every review I'd read before buying this lens was highly favourable and I must agree. Not an essential purchase if like me your photography is mostly outdoors in reasonable light, but a valuable addition in any case. Very few of these lenses become available second-hand and with good reason.
