Professional Review:
The OLYMPUS Zuiko Digital interchangeable lenses have been developed specifically for digital SLR use, with professional grade specifications to ensure optimum performance. As dedicated digital camera lenses, they ensure that light strikes the image sensor at a near-perpendicular angle, eliminating image degradation and light loss that can occur at the periphery of the image area, or when shooting with wide angle lenses. They also support high speed, high precision focus, and offer superb zoom and focus response.

   Summary: Made me realize why I got an DSLR
I purchased this lens from Amazon and was less than happy about the packing of the shipping box, lens box could be felt shifting around with room and on all sides inside the box (a no no for packing items you're going to ship, particularly expensive items like this lens), however the lens was just fine.

Now, I'd purchased a E-510 and have been weighing whether to keep it or go for a prosumer (no hassle) camera...until I unpacked this lens and put it on my 510. First light was literally a "Whoah" moment. Beautiful, sharp, at 50mm a relatively good amount of magnification. Looking at the pictures on the computer, the bokeh (out of focus background) is beautiful (big change from kit 510 lenses). The detail in the shots is astounding. Looking at the results of the few pics I took made me think this is why I got a DSLR.

   Summary: Worth Every Penny
I've had the lens for a week and I'm thrilled with its capabilities. The quality of Olympus Zuiko lenses are awesome and this is no exception. It's worth every penny!

   Summary: Insane
This lens is sharp like a tack! Just returned from an overseas trip, the reason I purchased this lens. I had the chance to practice with it some before leaving the u.s. in anticipation for what I might encounter on my trip. The f-stop of 2.0 made it fast enough to use without a flash at an iso of 400 with the olympus e-500. The affordability of that body shows it's limits with higher iso settings but at 400 I was able to shoot as fast as 1/60 and catch action without alot of noise in the image. Speaking of the "image", the depth of field at f-2.0 is super dramatic. Oohs and ahhs never get boring as trip mates reviewed images on the camera's lcd view. Absolutely amazing macro results as well. I was able to get some fantastic shots of a camel's face up close, and again every detail is razor sharp. I only pulled out my kit lenses when I needed to capture wider angles or subjects that were far enough off in the distance to justify using a zoom. It sounds crazy, but the image quality between the kit lenses and the fixed 50 are pretty significant. They are all 3 zuiko lenses, but I guess having that premium glass in the fixy along with the fact that it's static and doesn't zoom, makes all the difference in clarity and sharpness.
This should be your next upgrade, if you're shooting with the standard e-500 or e-510 body or kit system. I would say even more so than a flash system upgrade.
Enjoy

   Summary: Fine Glass
This lens is an excellent performer. I have used it for scenics, portraits and a few close up "macro"-type shots. It is uniformly excellent. I have posted a couple of my desert scenics to show what this lens can do (it is paired with an Olympus E-510 body).

Hopefully, pictures will tell more than words.

My only regret about this lens? -- that the Olympus 12-60 zoom lens is so expensive and I had purchased this lens before the zoom became available. But the zoom of course doesn't offer the macro capabilities of this lens.

   Summary: 50mm Macro - Flawless
This lens is everything I hoped it would be and everything the reviews promised it would be too. It is easy to use, flawless in results and great value. It is great for close up work, obviously, but it is also a great portrait lens. Get one, you won't be sorry!
