I've been using the 50-200 SWD on my E-M1 and like it quite well. At
the short end of the focus range, the AF sometimes gets a little touchy,
but when it locks on, it is solid.

The 50-200 SWD should be on my short-list of lenses to acquire
Yes! Even though this was sold as a "High Grade" lens, it merits the SHG
designation in my book, except for the fact that the aperture changes with zoom.
But if you're at all thinking about ring flash, be aware that the E-System ring
flash will not mount on the SWD version.
I'm scratching my head at why some engineer decided they needed to change the
hood bayonet mount (which is used to mount the ring flash) between the non-SWD
and the SWD versions of this lens. They use the same filter size, so there's
really no excuse for such a gratuitous change.
