I just bought this to shrink the size of my Pen P1 when I don't need one of the tele's or a longer prime. It almost makes the camera pocketable. I clicked 'yes' for durable only because I've never had a problem with a Zuiko lens and don't expect to with this. Nice and fast, sharp images, and seems to focus faster that my longer lens'. Plus it wasn't much more expensive than a body cap so getting real picky seems silly. I'm pretty picky otherwise about my lens' and I have no complaints with this one and it serves a valid purpose for me so I rated it 5 stars.

Nice sharp image. It's compact and easy to carry around. Now fits into my smaller bag - no big lens sticking out so going to be great for street photography and looking forward to our holidays. 17mm seems just right for this type of photography with my MFT Olympus.

I bought this lens for my Olympus EP-2. I mainly use old Minolta manual focus lenses, but I wanted to have a small compact lens. This is lens is perfect for everyday shooting. The size of the lens makes the camera almost pocketable. The image quality is pretty good for the price, but doesn't compare to the legacy lenses that I use, like the Rokkor 50mm/1.4. The Auto-focus motor is a bit slower than most DSLRs I have used, but I have not used any other Micro-4/3 lenses. This lens is focus-by-wire, and I like that when you turn the focus ring, it triggers the camera's peeking mode.
I have used many Micro Four Thirds lenses, but keep coming back to this one as a one-lens prime solution for small camera bodies (currently I am using a Panasonic GM5). it's truly tiny, fast to focus (though not the fastest among modern Micro Four Thirds lenses) and has pleasing rendering with punchy, strong colors and good bokeh on subjects that are close to the camera. It's not the sharpest lens, but more than makes up for it in other areas, and the value can't be beat.
In my opinion as cameras come and go this lens remains as one of the best! Size, finish, image quality, silver or black you can't go wrong. This lens a compact Oly Body is all you need this is my 3rd copy I have wondered off a couple of times to other Brands and returned to Olympus.
