Cons: Weak aperture.
Pros: Excellent quality results, if there is strong light available. Lightweight lens, working perfectly on the E-620
Summary: Amazing results, definately better than higher prized Canon lenses. A must have for travelling.

Cons: Moderately light build, not bad by today's standards for kit lenses. Far better made, of better plastic and more robust than the collapsible version 14-42mm for micro four thirds Olympus models. Still, wish it had metal mount, however seems sturdy. It stays on my adapter which has metal mount so I don't mind.
Pros: Very sharp and contrasty, even in available light. Far, far better than the collapsible version for micro four thirds Olympus models, in actual tests... I use it on my E-P2 with the Panasonic Lumix adapter, not the Olympus adapter, and it's small, strong and relatively compact. It is far sharper on the E-P2 than a 520 full size four thirds camera I tried it on, or for that matter a Panasonic G-F1 Lumix.
Summary: Makes a great companion to the Lumix 45-200mm lens, which is very sharp and likewise a great deal for the money. I would say it's about as sharp and contrasty as that lens, so with the set you have a low price high performance matched set of lenses for Olympus micro four thirds bodies.
