I saw that lens but haven't really heard or seen much on it. Could try and find a clean copy and give it a try I guess..
There are actually two...an L and a non-L. The L version is excellent. I owned one for about 7 years and actually just recently sold it a few months ago. I sold it to our local store (World of Photography in Columbus), and they still have it, I believe, so you could maybe buy it from them.
It's a surprisingly sharp lens for such an old zoom with that kind of range. Great color. Purple fringing (well bluish here) can sometimes be visible on very high contrast subjects, but even then it's not bad. Overall, it's really nice. It is a BIG and heavy lens, though...about 4.5 lbs.
Here's probably my favorite shot with it, taken on the A7 II:

Here's the lens on my old OM-D:
