Pros: Sharpness, 3D pop, Leica colours, incredible build quality

Cons: cases of ghosting in backlight , f2.8 up to 20 mm would have been nice

Opinion: The moment you hold the Panaleica 12-60 in your hands, you know that you are in presence of a fantastic piece of engineering , solid, smooth metal . Sizewise the lens is perfect for an Em1, and even pretty good on my old Em5 . Fine AF, nice colours, nice 3dD pop , lens stabilization ( to be preferred over the ibis with Olympus bodies ) . Already incredibly sharp at 12 mm, even better than my 12 mm f2 Olympus prime. Excellent until 50 mm . A bit weaker sharpness- and contrast-wise at 60 mm f4 , but that's very good for portraits with a nice background blur; for lanscapes and street better use f5.6 and add a touch of contrats in post .

Pros: Construction, Weather Sealing, Stabilization, Focal Range, Sharpness

Cons: Nothing!

Opinion: Arrived (new) on August 30, 2025 in kit with the Panasonic Lumix DC-G9 at a "best buy" price. Immediately removed from the box and mounted on the camera I made the first outing to take some photos at sunset and then in the blue moment during the return. To date I have used it to make other sunsets, generic landscaping, in the presence of fog and in the evening, or close up for flowers and insects. At home I photographed my dog and my grandchildren of whom I also took some close-ups. Finally, I also ventured with the street even though I believe that the most suitable lenses are the fixed ones such as the Leica Summilux 15mm f1.7 and 25mm f1.4 II or the Zuiko 20mm f1.4 PRO that I have, however, in my photographic kit. In practice, since the end of August last year the 12-60 and the G9 are fixed to my full satisfaction and the fixed ones, mentioned above, I use them with the Lumix GX9.

Pros: All

Cons: Distortion at 12 mm up to 18 mm

Opinion: You will hardly get tired of such a view, it does almost everything and does it well, that almost is "architecture". Don't even try, you'd be disappointed, having said that it has a mild contrast, it's very resolving, the diaphragm is a work of art, how many have nine blades? Few. Well balanced colors and very pleasant complexion. He's going to be with me for quite a while...

Pros: Colors, three-dimensionality, construction, focal range, brightness, sharpness, tropicalization, lens hood, price if taken in kit, leica, power ois scary in combination with panasonic g9

Cons: Price if bought separately

Opinion: In my opinion, considering it a kit lens is an insult, usually kit lenses are medium-low level lenses while this one for me is medium-high level. The photos are alive, beautiful colors and enchanting three-dimensionality, not for nothing is leica. Small size, tropicalized body and stabilization complete the picture. Very satisfied 10 out of 10

Pros: Construction and optical rendering

Cons: Don't have it

Opinion: It is a lens that is difficult to take off the camera. In some reviews here they complain about optical defects that I have not found. Someone complains that it suddenly drops in brightness with increasing focal length and criticizes at the same time the weight and size: evidently can not imagine how it could be and how much a constant 12-60 f2.8 should cost. Personally I would have preferred a constant f/4. Someone mentioned among the defects the made in China ... Is it a defect? Why should it be, since it has excellent mechanics? Except for specific needs, it could be the only objective of the kit.
