It's a sweet little lens at a great price. Just don't get it too
close to running water or blowing sand. It's a bit close to the subject
at 1:1 but as a 1:2 or 1:3 close-up lens it's tough to beat. I've been
very pleased with the results:

If you look at its MTF curves on the Olympus web site, it looks very
promising. It looks like the only thing it doesn't match the 50/2 with
is its aperture. Given its light weight and relatively low cost it is
a very very tempting option. Thanks for verifying that it is working
well. I think there is at least one other list member who has
mentioned it a time or two.
