Anyone try using Pana-Leica D VARIO-ELMAR 14-150mm f3.5 - 5.6 on Olympus E-510? How was it? Good to use? fast & good focus?

If you don't mind not using 2 of the unique features on that fantastic lens, why not??

You cannot use the Aperture Ring. The OIS...don't think they work as goos as the builtin IS of the E-510. One will override the other.

There is a demo on IS using OIS and built in IS. I find it pretty good to know.
