Nice Bpark! The lens is interesting for sure, I am considering it but it's getting mixed reviews. Too expensive say some but then again it's still far cheaper then a Nikon or Canon counterpart and it's the one and only lens of its kind for m43. I guess if one needs it it's not over prized...
Thanks.
The lens feels maybe a little overpriced, but the performance is outstanding. My only complaint is that it shows some ugly vignetting at the wide end.
I should note that my primary interest in this lens is for landscape use, so I didn't spend much time evaluating wide open performance or bokeh. It looks like Jordan's review covered those aspects nicely.
Some shots of where I had a meeting today. Originally, this was the Athens Asylum for the Insane, located on a hill overlooking Ohio University. Now the university uses it for offices. Still looks creepy on the outside with the right treatment. THese are all with the 35-100/2.8:
The DR of the OM-D is quite amazing. Check out this original shot vs the cropped image. In LR-4 I opened up the shadows by 50% and reduced the highlights by the same margin, and did some further adjustments in Viveza 2. There's quite a bit of purple-fringing but it's otherwise a useable image. Lens was the PL 25/1.4 at f2.
Been way too busy to really shoot, but a couple of play-around shots as I was messing about with sparklers. First one is my daughter, very heavy crop. Second is me, after I remembered how wide the 7.5mm Rok is
Well, all that I did was to check the box for Auto CA correction. Maybe that's not enough, and it doesn't help with heavy cropping. But we are talking about DR here and the OM-D has incredibly good DR.

Amazing. Was that after having ACR address the purple fringing?
I just picked up my new Olympus 60mm 2.8 macro and am looking for a lens hood---well, one that doesn't cost $49.95. I've searched Amazon, B&H, etc. and can't find anything suitable. Someone (I think in this thread) posted a link to the generic EzFoto hood for the 75 1.8, and I got that one, thank you!
Anyone know of something similar for the 60 macro?
