Cons: Slow autofocus. Needs to be unfolded to take pictures. Doesn't exactly feel like a well lubricated mashine..
Pros: Great resolution in wide angle (compared to the other standard zooms), also in the corners. Very small when collapsed
Summary: My sharpest standard zoom, I have this, the IIR and the 12-50

Cons: Lens has to be unfolded before use and becomes quite long. Lens mount feels loose and unstable. Zoom ring turns uneven with a kind of "lump" in the movement. Plastic has some moulding edges in it. Silver finish a bit uneven from back to front and not like the camera finish.
Pros: Very good resolution and contrast at wide (14mm) to normal (25mm) settings. Not much distortion. Very little flare for a zoom lens. Handy when folded.
Summary: A fine lens that gives fine pictures, but mecanically it does not look and feel anything like the Olympus Pen camera its mounted on.

Cons: Can not use polarizing or graduated filters due to the rotating front element. CA and some softness at the widest zoom angles. Mechanical construction is not sturdy at all. Can not carry more than two filters on the filter thread because the AF motor can not cope with the additional weight.
Pros: Optical quality is very good around the middle of the zoom range and pretty acceptable around the extremes. Very compact when collapsed for storage. Very light compared to other kit lenses. Good close focusing ability (~20cm).
Summary: Not bad for a kit lens. Pretty usable for everyday use. Very sharp when stopped down a bit.
