Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-200mm f/3.5-6.3

Pros: Long focal length and low weight

Cons: Everything else

Opinion: I bought this lens shortly after its release, thinking I had found the ultimate lens for travel. I used it for three years, trying to convince myself that all in all it could be fine, but in the end I sold it out of desperation, losing 200 euros, and I took the 12-100 Pro. Unfortunately, the image quality of this zoom is very low; I'm not talking about brightness, because that's not the problem: lack of detail, grainy images, lack of contrast, confusing and unpleasant bokeh and in the 12-50 range, where many say that it is fine like other kit lenses, it behaves equally badly, with a decent image in the center but on the edges completely blurred. If I compare it to the lumix 12-60 f3.5-5.6, it comes out destroyed. I like Olympus lenses, but this one you'd better put it out of production.
