The lens was a technological step forward in optical and mechanical engineering, resulting in a compact and for it's day, a light-weight design, while providing steady high-quality images. Something that was no common yet for zoom of that era. It also included specialised optics to remain high quality even when shooting a minimum distance.
Today, it feels more like a solid, heavy lens, but oozing old quality with a metal build, retractable hood, and a lot of attention for details. Try to find a good zoom lens today, with this range, and of this small size.
Image quality is very nice, with nice colors, decent sharpness in all corners and a minimum of color aberration. I'm really getting impressed with these older Zuiko lenses. This is my 3rd one, but others are to follow for sure. A keeper...
