It's indeed a very impressive performer, almost silent in action, and
robust in the extreme, although it does suffer slight CA on high
contrast edges, and is not weather-proofed (it did feel like a pepper
mill after an afternoon in a windy Monument Valley). Yes, it has
pretty much supplanted my 14-54; the same did not apply to the Zuiko
18-180 I had previously, which was clearly a compromise between
performance and size.
If you can find one, get one!
