I rejoin the system 16 years later...

But it'll be handy for carrying "just in case" as none of the Canon mount lenses I have is nearly as compact.
The 24 MP I'm getting is perfectly adequate, and maybe even overkill - yesterday I was editing an ages old (okay, 2004 vintage) 2 MP picture for (online) publication, cropped it some, and even then I still got the desired result. Smile Of course, for print it would have been a different story.

BTW I stumbled upon another review site doing evaluations of mostly Nikon gear, photographylife.com. what piqued my interest was that they're using the same Imatest methods as OL does. I'm a sucker for scientific looking charts and whatnot, they somehow make the results more believable for me. Smile The 16-50 got decent scores there.

Sorry but my experience with collapsible lenses was horrible, it is excellent and very sharp new, however with the collapsible mechanism and elements moving , depending how harsh you treat it of course it won't be long before it starts losing quality.
Again sorry for being rather pessimistic.
For me I am okay with that, pay a cheap price for a tiny collapsible lens, using for some period, replace when needed.
