Brillant design!
One must understand the purpose of this lens. It is designed to transform a PEN or OM-D camera into a point and shoot. Combined with the additional auto lens cap, the lens powers from the closed compact state to the extended ready state with the auto lens cap opening for quick shooting when the camera is powered on.

Acceptable
I bought this lens for EM10. It is small and looks good. But after shot one week, I found the optical performance does not satisfy me. Also, while you zoom it, not like regular zoom lens, you always feel it is pulled back by spring, very difficult to hit the position you want.

great for travel and backup
I like this little lens on my EM-5 when I want a very small package for travel as opposed to a point and shoot. Fits into a very slim bag for on and off the plane when you take the lens off. Another good use is for when you have your tele or long prime and want a standard lens just in case that you put in your pocket.
