Om 8-25 experience

I’m considering purchasing the 8-25 as a general use lens for exploring cities and also hiking. Does anyone have any experience with it and what are your impressions?

UPDATE . Thanks for the feedback everyone. It’s been good getting different perspectives. To clarify my current situation, the gear have at the moment is an original em5 along with the 12-100, pana 20mm1.7 and 9-18. Also have the original kit lenses with 40-150 but they never get used.

I have been wanting to upgrade the camera for a while now but have resented the fact that every update of the em5 since the em1 was introduced has felt like a deliberately hobbled camera. I’m now seriously looking at the om3 along with adding the 8-25, and a couple more small primes.

I find that I enjoy using the camera most is with a smaller lens attached but find that limiting in some situations. I also have no interest in having multiple bodies and prefer to add a grip if attaching larger lenses
