I bought this lens to cover up the apertures that cannot be reached with kit lenses... So far I have been quite happy with it.

I really like the lens... it has contrast and color reproduction is equal to ZD lenses. It's max aperture gives opportunity to shoot inside even in here Finland during winter and autumn when it gets dark early. aaand as a cherry on the top, it works as poor mens macro lens quite well.
On the negative side, it's a bit noisy on focusing and really heavy. (weight again makes it easy to shoot very sloooow speeds, especially with E-400, where you hold most of the weight on left hand fingers gripped around lens barrel in any case.)
That is lot of good stuff for it's small price and it's my so far best 4/3 addition that I have bought.
