Bought this to use as a portrait lens on micro 4/3. It's going to work fine for that. The central 2/3 or so looks quite sharp even wide open, certainly sharp enough for portraits. I suspect it is field curvature that makes the edges, even the long edges, quite blurry wide open. You need to stop down to f/8 or so to get the corners looking close to reasonable, and of course by then diffraction is setting in, at least on 20 MP. However, it has reasonable bokeh wide open, in fact I suspect it is the field curvature that gives it, to my eye at least, a little bit of a swirly quality, which I like. It'll serve the purpose I bought it for, so I'd say it's definitely good value.
