How are ergonomics, how does it feel in the hand?
I think it feels great, David. It's hard to describe without knowing what your reference points are. I have a few old Pentax Super Takumars that I enjoy using for the "feel" of the manual focus and the weight of the lens itself. Many point out heaviness as a negative. For me, that is ALMOST the reverse. Not that I want to carry around a 2 lb. lens. But I like a solidly built lens that has a touch of heft.
It's too early into the honeymoon to complain. I would say my initial response is that it isn't buttery smooth (though it definitely IS smooth) to focus like the Pentax lenses, but those are also 40 years old and well broken-in. It definitely IS way more pleasurable to use (ergonomics-wise) than all the focus-by-wire m43 lenses.
It's small, but not too small.
It's light enough, but not too light AND
It's heavy enough, but not too heavy
The focus throw from near focus to infinity is good.
I don't want to say too much too early on and then change my mind. I used it for a few minutes after the postman came and before I went to run errands.

I should have ordered it already.
