Excerpt: Boasting a 5x zoom range and an f/2.8 maximum aperture the 12-60mm zoom looks impressive with its extra-low dispersion (ED) glass and responsive, fast-focusing Sonic-Wave
Summary: The Olympus Zuiko Digital 12-60mm is quite simply one of the best quality zoom lenses we’ve tested to date.
Pros: Flexible 5x general purpose range., Quick and quiet SWD focusing., Excellent build quality. Dust and splash-proof., Very sharp results across frame and focal range.
Cons: Shadow from popup flash on smaller bodies., Feels front-heavy on E-4xx series., No anti-shake on non-stabilised bodies., Imager AF not supported in Live View.
Summary: Overall this lens performs very well indeed. In terms of resolution, control of chromatic aberrations, focusing speed and the build quality it is an excellent lens.
Pros: Excellent build quality, Good optical performance, Fast focusing, Useful minimum focus distance
