Compared to the excellent 45 1.8 of Olympus, I must say that this course the people more natural and maps with more potential exemption, but this is ultimately yes also due to the larger focal length in pure Porträitaufnahmen.
The autofocus on the E-P3 is very fast, maybe a little bit slower than the 14-42 kit lens. In reality absolutely fast enough.
The zoom ring turns very smoothly; total an absolute top glass.
