I've had one for a while, and it is quite versatile. It is an excellent
lens among the Zuiko zooms, although it is larger and heavier than the
35-70's. The extremely expensive 35-80 f/2.8 is the only one in this class
bigger and heavier. About $300+ USD is in the ballpark for one of them.
Price will vary some by geography, and of course its condition. Aside from
the size and weight which bother some users, its drawback is in dim
lighting. With an f/3.5~4.5 speed, the split image will go black on you in
very low light, as will any of the slower lenses.
