User profile: Semipro
Cons: - not the most rugged plastic - an integrated lens hood would have taken advantage of the small size of the lens - needs to be stopped down to f/4 to bring corners on par with center - flare with strong light in / near frame
Pros: + satisfactory optical quality on most of the frame at all apertures on 20 megapixels bodies + tiny and light, a must for m4/3 + AF is decently fast
Summary: a very good tiny lens that takes advantage of the small m4/3 format

Cons: no pouch, no hood
Pros: sharp and small
Summary: Great lens. Not as quick AF as say 17/1.8, but still very quick and precise. Very sharp in focus and smooth out of focus. Feels a bit plasticky, but not cheap. Full retail price should have been a bit better, but got mine for free with body, so no complain.

Cons: Corner and edge softness. Not good for growth portrait, landscape.
Pros: Light, beautiful bokeh, good for close up portraits cinema situations when you need bright lens for web images.
Summary: If you need extremely sharp lens, turn one's mind to sigma 60 2.8, panasonic 45 1.7. Use it for beautiful pictures.

Cons: Not weather-protected. Silver color.
Pros: Incredibly sharp wide open. Almost scary sharp if the subject has, say, rough skin. Amazingly small size and light in weight.
Summary: Really should have been weather sealed. The designers were overly focused on this as a studio lens.

Cons: Given this is the typical portrait length and you're going to use it a lot wide open, I expected to be a much better performer in this area. Performance wide open is good (not exceptional), sharp as long as you place you subject in the center but under certain circumstances a strange "glow" or "veiling" is clearly visible.
Pros: In any regard you couldn't really ask more from 2.8 onward
Summary: A very good lens for the price,

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
