Pros:Great for selfie, macro, tropicalized, low cost of used
Cons:Obviously buietto
Opinion:The wife started taking pictures with a camera, and since she seemed to be passionate I decided to make her make a small leap in quality without fainting; she is very happy, selfies come easily, flowers as well, but now I'm slightly envious for that very comfortable macro function: I wish I had it on 12-100! As a quality it seems good to me and the fact that it is dark matters little because the wife does not take pictures in critical condition; I notice a certain similarity with the 60 mm macro I had in the past, maybe it's not a random resemblance

Pros:Lightweight handy and optically incredible
Cons:No if one thinks about what is in front of him and knows how to evaluate the situation well by putting the notorious MTF as paper ... for the use of the member of the European Parliament
Opinion:I just finish experimenting with yet another still-life in available light, building all around the subject a polystyrene box resembling a box of light without excessive shadows: what more can I say? It holds the "barrel" very well both at full aperture, strange but true, than at intermediate apertures alias f / 8 and going up to the diffraction f / 22. The files are there to demonstrate how Olympus, it was written for the flagship of all time E-1 in strict 4/3 to lick your mustache over twenty years after launch and not by chance some commentator has called it "training ship", and in Jpg they speak for themselves and remains a fact hidden in favor of other brands (y). In short, more than glass light alloys and plastics just enough Olympus all, we report the same thing our point & shot, have soul open to the way through Zuiko. And they develop in synergy an incredible mysticism: it is no longer available on the net the background of the birth 4/3 and in particular the recalled E-1, where it is remembered how the chief engineer or caporione of the project speaks of the aforementioned thing: Mysticism. Air vibrations that you do not find holding other digital cameras, this does not affect their goodness we would miss. And here we close to return to the "barrel" 12-50 to also say of its Macro capacity: incredible even here if I compare it to that bottle ass some part in retirement equivalent 35 in 4/3 format. Reproducing old Kodachrome and raising the "sharpness" the result is the same "cut" Kodachrome, analog slide and Zeiss optics on the incredible Cotax-Yasica line of the seventies last century. It is to say that the 12-50 I bought second-hand to avoid that "lag" via Olympus adapter of the Quattroterzi optics, excellent lenses without a doubt but on Micro they are ... turtles. Of course if you know the game and you don't photograph in FormulaOne... where I fail to remember right on the Ferrari Reds stood the Olympus logo ... Olympus always gets it right and the 12-50 is permanently mounted on the Pen Ep-2 or what happens Ep-5 or his Majesty Pen-F, a monster goes well but we do not finish it anymore. Excellent glass the "barrel" 12-50, of course then the handle of the photographer ... we are at a double Mystic: Tombola oops Bingo.
Pros:light, focal length, macro function, manual zoom and electric, tropical conditions and price used, 12mm
Cons:a bit 'long, just good sharpness.
Opinion:purchased as an all-purpose lens battle, does not disappoint. For the price at which it is used, and 'the ideal lens for long hikes, adverse weather conditions, wind and dust. The lens does not extend, guaranteeing a certain robustness against side impacts, at the expense of external dimensions a little 'more' bulky compared with retractable zoom. Useful the Macro function that guarantees excellent close-up with a very good quality '. Compared to other zoom with similar zoom range, stands on the side of the 12mm wide angle, which makes the difference between a classic 14-42. The quality 'and optical' "only good", but does not disappoint. I also own the 14-42 R, which is higher sharpness, but without 'having the advantages mentioned in the pros, besides the lightness .rnConsigliato to those looking for a real all-purpose sturdy.
Pros:Tropicalization, lightness, macro capabilities, compact size, excellent performance as good for wide angle and macro
Cons:Low light and poor performance as a short telephoto
Opinion:A lens to do all that by the time it was found very convenient and indispensable in your bag (if not already fitted in the car) for lightness and versatility. I was very impressed by the excellent performance both as a wide angle in close-ups. Decay at the edges and vignetting (clear how wide angle) are still tolerable, yield excellent color. It performs well even then in the medium focal, sin, decay as a short telephoto, which also has a too low brightness. Excellent mechanical, silent, I find it very comfortable and fluid even with zoom and focus in manuale.rnNel complex outnumber the merits of the defects and find better and more usable for 14-42 f3.5-5.6 standard. rnRapporto quality unbeatable.
Opinion:It was the standard kit of e-m5, but unable to express the best of fotocamera.rnBuono in the lower range up to medium focal lengths, the upper limit is to forget. Frankly I do not understand the usefulness of a zoom as well, which is at most a small taste of what you can do instead with the E-m5 with other ottiche.rnL'unica function in which I see it is intended as an objective to battle, and expendable , in the most adverse environmental conditions due to the weather sealing (real plus) .rnNon bad macro function but the quality is just not satisfactory for high expectations anyway. The additional optical mcon on p02-45 1.8 makes photo absolutely superiori.rnLa low light, which leads to higher iso, where the e-m5 suffers a bit ', complete with a picture from just sufficienza.rn
