Strength:
Super sharp, great build and a joy to use.Using it with an adapter on a Sony mirrorless system. May sound expensive but is comparable if not cheap than its digital equivalents! Weakness:
None that I can think of. Price Paid: $1200.00

Strength:
Sharpness?? This is *retarded* sharp ! Contrast, color, build quality.
Weakness:
Slight hint of barrel at 35mm. Not a problem because this is not an architecture lens. Cost. This lens doesn't come cheap, but it promises the highest performance for what you pay. People spend a couple of grand on new high end computers every few years that loose nearly all their value afterward. But good lenses, like diamonds, are forever. Outstanding. Can't think of a word to emphasize its performance more. Wide open its very good, by f/8 its sharpness is insane!! Of course this is assuming you use a steady support for your camera. (There are idiots out there who hand hold their cameras with mega $$$$ lenses and then complain about their sharpness). Build quality is superb, and has an exquisite feel to the touch. This is my prime (err..zoom) workhorse lens that I carry everywhere with me for serious travel photography. When I get the slides back from the lab and lay them out on the light table,I can only look at them with a film in my eye and say, "Oh Olympus, why did you quit on us?"

Strength:
sharp, color, tones.
Weakness:
1] not so easy to focus at >2meters, especially at infinity, with the split focusing screen? 2] to make the strait line strait in the split focusing screen, the distance marker on the lens barrel is useless, 2-3meters could be at infinity, or infinity could be at the 3-5meters! a very practical ranges of focal length.
