  Outstanding optical and mechanical quality.

  Needs to be 12mm at the wide end.

  Have replaced it with the Olympus 12-100 Pro but miss 2 features: 1) the longer reach, 2) the use of teleconverters. As crazy as it sounds, it works very well with both the EC-14 and EC-20. With the EC-20 AF was accurate on the EM1 in good light. No hunting.
  
  For anyone considering an Olympus or Panasonic 14-140/150, this lens is vastly superior. Though still a bit pricey on the used market.

  Versatile and compact

  Some barrel distortion at 14 mm

  Use it on an Olympus E-510, which works fine.

  Focal lenght, tack sharp, CDAF support, Supersonic Motor

  Closest focus distance, price

  There is not too much negative i can say about his lens. It just a gem.
  
  The combination of a supersonic motor driven lens, that supports contrast autofocus and has a sharpness of the 12-60 SWD is simply great.
  
  Adding to this, the fact that you have a really superzoom that is not too heavy and with a outstanding sharpness at the long end, makes this a really perfect combination.
  
  No more lens switch, except in some occasions. At night and where more focal lenght is needed.
  
  There is only one drawback, maybe two.
  a. PRICE
  b. no dust and waterproof
  
  Apart from this, it is a perfect match
  
  Edit 17th January 2011:
  I have this lens now on my Olympus E-5 Body.
  
  Perfect match. It stabilizes the Video Recording while the IBIS is not active.
  It does not generate any noise while focusing in live view mode and it is accurate.
