Like no other

I purchased this lens as an upgrade to ZD 12-60mm. While 12-60 is really a great lens, I found that I'm not using it much at long end and it's just f2.8-4, while 14-35mm is a constant f2.0 The images it produces along with the E-5 are sublime, incredibly detailed throughout the frame and at all...

Wow, what a lens.

It is absolutely perfect. I love the lens. Yes it is big, both in size and performance. I'm glad I have it and would do it again in a heart beat. Build quality and picture quality are just what I wanted and expected.

Olympus 14-35mm f/2 ED SWD Zuiko Digital review by jnolan

You might have noticed that this lens costs a lot. That's okay, though, because it's absolutely fantastic. First off, though, it's worth mentioning that this lens is huge. It's heavy and it's big. I find that it feels good on my E-5, but on my E-420 it feels like I'm attaching my body to the lens.

Best Lens I've Ever Used

My E3 body came with the Zuiko 12-60mm lens, and I couldn't get over the quality of the pictures from that. It's a great lens, with a good focal length, capable of taking stunning pictures. When I bought my E5 body, I looked at this 14-35mm lens.

Outstanding

I have owned this lens for 6 months or so and use it professionally in a portrait studio with an E-5. I just cannot say anything bad about it. While it is somewhat large, it is an f2 lens with outstanding sharpness, contrast and color.
