Warn u all first, the lens makes quite a bit of noise when mounted. Also, when you first put the lens on, the aperture is fully opened and the E-P3 screen starts flickering, flicker will stop once you try to focus on something and the aperture blades close in (i think it will mean lesser light falling on the sensor).
I suspect its due to the HUGE aperture and too much light falling on the sensor so the aperture blades always open/close. Not sure if you all will experience it. I tried on 2 copies of lenses, both exhibited similar behaviour. There is a thread over at dpreview also
Anyone want to share more?
Forgot to mention that it seems to be present when bright light source is present. Just tried it in office i.e. darker environment, no aperture shifting noise nor flicker detected. Will post more updates.This is new, don't recall it having the same issue on the G series.

All my Panasonic m43 lenses behave that way on Olympus m43 cameras. Always get the click-clack sound when turning on the camera with the lens mounted.Warn u all first, the lens makes quite a bit of noise when mounted.
