I've got this one. Very fine lens gives crisp sharp images. But its 1/2 stop
slower than the Zuiko 90/2.0, and 1/5 the cost... so you have to give up
something. You just don't have to give up so much of your money. I predict
(the envelope, please) you will find it a very satisfying lens. Solid
all-metal construction, smooth mechanisms, and top-notch quality throughout.
There is a 'matched multiplier' that functions to extend the range to 1:1,
and that includes a tripod mount, so it is a handy thing to get if you
didn't get it included.
