Amazing Lens for the Price
Amazing lens for the price. Very sharp throughout its entire range. A little heavy for a m43 lens but that reflects the build quality, which is superb. With the E-M1 (or Mark II), it's not too difficult to shoot with one hand, though your arm may get a little tired after a few hours. It's much easier to just support the lens with your offhand. IBIS allows for very slow shutter speeds, so if your subject isn't moving much, you can keep ISO low. Manual focus clutch is a nice feature as well.
And the 1.4x TC really provides a nice reach boost. Sharpness is still good wide open on the long end, though to get the same levels of sharpness you may want to stop down one stop. But it is certainly still useable wide open.

Purchase this as soon as you're able.
Phenomenal lens for the money. I can't believe how much better it is than the 12-50. It's sharp wide open and through the entire focal range. Wonderful colors, contrast and dof.
