"I purchased this lens last week and it arrived today. I am using it on an Olympus Evolt E-500 with the 14mm-45mm Zuiko lens. The HD 7000 lens is solid and heavy and has a feel of being very well built. When attached to the Zuiko lens, without a filter, I get only slight vignetting at full wide 14mm. There is absolutely NO Vingetting at 15mm. The image is perfectly sharp from edge to edge even when zoomed to 45mm. I am very happy with this lens. I did have to purchase the Olympus FL-36 flash because the stock flash is blocked by the longer lens. Of course, any semi-professional should have an accessory flash anyway. And the FL-36 works seamlessly with the E-500. If you need a wide angle lens and don't want to spend $800+ on the 4/3's, get this lens.

Problems Encountered: You must purchase an accessory flash because the size and extra length of the HD7000 creates a shadow from blocking the stock lens.

Items I Recommend: Olympus FL-36 Flash"
