The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Size and weight, image quality, homogeneous yield to the different focal points, construction.
Cons:You give up the function button and the sliding ring to switch to manual focus.
Opinion:It seems to use a miniaturized 12-100/4: optical yield, AF speed, robustness, feeling of the rings - The tiny size (for a zoom) imposes the aforementioned waivers, but are in my opinion largely compensated by the practicality of use and the rendering of the image. The lampshed is very protective, but discreetly increases its dimensions. Unlike the brother 12-40/2.8 circulates little in second hand, so its price remains quite high. Stabilization only in the chamber is largely sufficient for the maximum focal of 45mm.
Opinion:Purchased in kit with an M5 mark III. It covers almost all photo situations, weighs little and is convenient to carry around. Of course F4 as a maximum aperture is a bit high, but how many photos are taken at full opening. Portraits, I don't make many and anyway I'm thinking of buying at about 20 euros an adapter that allows me to use an old one at full opening (!) F.Zuiko 50 f1.8. Let's not forget that it focuss at 12 cm, it is not a macro but allows you to take great photos at close range. Great purchase.
Pros:Small, light, well-balanced with small bodies, fixed diaphragm, minimum distance of respect, uniformity of yield from edge to edge, sharpness ...
Cons:f4 might seem like a limit but if you want brightness there is the 12-40 the 12-45 does another job ...
Opinion:this lens is fully part of the micro four-thirds philosophy, see the pros, I see no flaws for those who choose this format, accompanied by a 17 or 25 1.8 you cover most situations ... The Olympus stabilizer helps a lot not to feel how defect the diaphragm to f4, besides, taking up close the output of the blurry is extremely soft and fluid, very pleasant, who chooses this format however for the boke will use more
