The weather in Manila has finally cooperated enough for me to take this on a short walk:

Will post a few more as I process the files (plus a few more in my Flickr photostream). All shot in RAW, edited in ACR, and a sprinkle of SIlver Efex Pro 2. This is the first time I've owned a zoom lens in many years!

I thought that particular kit should be splash/rain resistant... No?

Yes, but I'm not! Haha. Rain has been pouring in Manila, and I've been nursing a cold.

Nice shots Johann. How's all the focal range results? Would you have a shot of this lens with the OMD? How's the balance? Sorry for all the questions as I might get this lens as well. Thanks.

It's a little bigger than the PanaLeica 25/1.4, and AF is really zippy! Nice lens, does the job well. Renders as a very modern Japanese lens (maybe a little too contrasty for me). Nice lens!

It does look quite big, maybe with the grip it will be more balanced. Thanks Johan.

I was able to borrow the grip a day. While it does make the camera handle better, it does increase it's size and weight - which, for me, makes it miss the point of have such a small camera (okay, so does this lens but the lens + grip makes it a double combo!). In the end, I thought that all I wanted form the whole grip set was the first part (the one without the extra battery), so I figured it wasn't a solid deal for me. YMMV, of course.
The grip set is just as solidly made as the OM-D, though.

At this point my M43 set-up are all primes the EP3 with the 14 2.5 practically glued to it and the OMD with either 45 1.8 or 20 1.7, may look at this in the future though for a 1 lens 1 camera set-up. The weather sealing also is a +factor with this lens aside from it's IO.
