After a few days of shooting with it, this lens is going back. I have absolutely zero complaint with it - its optically and operationally wonderful. But I just don't see how I'd end up fitting this focal length into my shooting enough to want to keep it. I'm a wide angle guy and my typical walk around lens is in the 24-35mm range, with 28 really sort of my sweet spot. And I have an Oly 9-18 for when I want to go really ultra-wide. This lens just doesn't add much to the 24mm equivalent options I've already got (Olympus 12mm and LX7 24mm setting) and it doesn't come close to giving that ultra-wide look or feel that I get from the wide end of the 9-18. Its wider than I'd use for street shooting (although the lens is well set-up for that) or just general walk-around shooting, but when I want really wiiiiiddddeeee, I'd still want to pull out the 9-18 and have even toyed with the idea of getting the 7-14 for its ability to go wider. This is also a big lens, perceptively larger and heavier than the 35 mm, which is not small to begin with... And it doesn't work well with the OVF, which matters to me a lot with this camera - for others probably a non-issue. So, back it goes. It was definitely worth a try for someone who likes wide angle as much as I do, but its just sort of an in-between focal length that I don't see myself using very much...
