Cons: nothing so far except for the plastic materials, not stabilized (Panasonic owners take note), durability remains to be seen although performance does not feel cheap
Pros: very high quality images wide open to f8, tack sharp at f2.8, excellent value with this quality lens, can't go wrong for anybody who are thinking of buying one, fast and accurate focusing even low light
Summary: one of the best primes for micro four third
