I'm considering this lens so I am curious;
@Darmok N Jalad did you get bad copies or are you just undicided on the lens in general? Does this lens suffer from a lot of sample variation?
Apologies for the delay. The first one I tried with my G9, and I sent it back to go with the 100-300 instead to get dual-IS. I had no complaints about the first copy. The second, I bought used and I had concerns about its condition, and I wasn't committed. This last copy seems solid enough, and I'm really liking the lighter weight, even if it is a bit slow. I haven't used it much, but here's a sample shot from an early outing.
@John King suggests using the e-shutter with this lens, and it does seem to help, especially on a light body like the E-M5.3.

Not too bad for ISO 1000!
