I agree it's a great lens and I was very much in love with it for a while. But recently I've been using the 12-40 a lot more. I'm finding a three lens kit of 8-18, 12-40, and 40-150 is a nice combo. Superb IQ and it all still fits with an EM1.3 into a small Billingham bag.I'm not familiar with the retailer so I can't comment on the price.
I got a great deal on mine a few years back and haven't seen it lower since (not that I look regularly).
It's a great lens.

I was talking metaphorically!I've never been in love with a lens or any camera gear. Just people.
I don't love metaphors, eitherI was talking metaphorically!
