I have the 845 version, I bought it new in the box, 6 years ago and use it a lot. I shoot flowers and on a M4/3, this is my walk around lens.
I love the length since I tend to shoot flowers from the street in the front gardens in my suburban neighbourhood.
The constant focus on zooming is very good and there is no lens zoom creep... it stays where you zoom it.
Blossoms above my head, no problem...I can fill the FOV with an apple blossom a few metres above my head. The 4:1 close-up is very nice... better than similar lens I have with this focal length. (Nikon and Kiron)
I usually shoot full open, and the bokeh is subtle and quite wonderful. It will bubble bokeh in the right light...but again it is subtle and doesn't distract. Images have a nice contrast. Colours are bright.
Since the OMD M4/3 is always using the center of all lens, drop off to the corners and vignetting is virtually non-existent.
Form, function and cost.. this lens is great...
