User profile: Semipro
Cons: - needs to be stopped down to f/4 - f/5.6 to bring the corners on par with the center - AF is a bit slow and noisy compared to more modern lenses
Pros: + a m4/3 gem that shows the advantages of the format, great optical quality for a lens this size and price, even on 20 Megapixels bodies + super compact and light, decent build for the size + very useful focal length
Summary: it\'s not the most recent lens design but it still holds very well
Overall

Price: 240
User profile: Amateur
Cons: busy (poor) bokeh
Pros: good optical quality, small size, great match for smaller m43 cameras
Summary: This is a good lens and I was using it as a _walk-around_ lens, but the bokeh was not very pleasant so I switched to Olympus 25mm f/1.8 instead.

User profile: Professional
Cons: Slight CA Issues Soft Corners unless stopped down a ways Not silent for video
Pros: Super sharp in the center from wide open on The corners come around by f2.8 Great color rendition Instant focus on the newer Panny bodies.
Summary: This is one of the "No Brainer" lenses if you own a Micro 4/3rd system. A virtual MUST HAVE for portraits and lower light shooting. The svelte size and weight make this the go to street lens as well.

Cons: The lens changes length when it focuses. I fear for its sturdiness compared to fixed length ones.

Summary: Rocks!

User profile: Amateur
Cons: A bit over-priced perhaps, but otherwise none.
Pros: Fast, extremely sharp and bright with good colour rendition. One of the few stand out lenses I've tried that because of it's compact size and quality fully justifies the choice of the M43 system. Hopefully this will set the standard for others to follow.
Summary: Virtually every review I'd read before buying this lens was highly favourable and I must agree. Not an essential purchase if like me your photography is mostly outdoors in reasonable light, but a valuable addition in any case. Very few of these lenses become available second-hand and with good reason.
