An excellent lens, nearly as good as the 105/2.5.

I use it on full frame as well as on Olympus micro 4/3 (with a mechanical adapter). Sharpness, more than usable full aperture, and moderate chromatic aberration make clean images possible with both sensor formats. Good bokeh too (even though the 105/2.5 AI is slightly better).
