Hello
For the last couple of weeks I tried to get an OMD EM 10 with this lens as part of the kit.
I had to return my kit twice before getting one with a good copy of the lense.
My first copy of that zoom was quite decentered at 14 mm and good at 42 mm.
I returned it.
The second sample was the biggest lemon I ever had.
It was strongly decentred. 50% of the frame was very bad. I mean really bad.
It was not even required to zoom to see the issue.
I did change it for a third one that is perfect.
I find this lens impressive for its size, but apparently Olympus is having trouble making it.
Now I am quite happy and I will start building a complete gear in MFT.
Obvously I will continue to buy the next lenses in shop with a strong return policy.
Best regards
Emmanuel
