Pros: Colors, sharpness and great versatility ..! TOP

Cons: Flare

Opinion: Well what to say !! I come from Fuji system and I must say that this micro 4/3 system is really fantastic and quality ! I took the M1 Mark III with the 12-100; this lens is stratospheric throughout... Colors, sharpness and great versatility ..! Really satisfied and happy, perhaps a note is that it suffers a bit 'the backlight "pushed" a little' flare ...

Pros: All

Cons: Nothing apart from the IS stabilization that does not satisfy me.

Opinion: Lens 12-100 with constant quality, I also had the other pros, this was the most suitable, also giving up the focal length 300 (with 2x on 40-150) given the little use. I currently use 25mm f1.8 and 12-100 f4 with EMI-II, for my use it is perfect. The IS stabilization I do not see the difference with the other zooms, we hope I am wrong.

Pros: Fixed aperture at f/4, focal excursion from 24 to 200 FF equivalent, high sharpness at all focal points, construction quality, at 12 mm focuses the subjects less than one centimeter from the lens. I'm going to stop here.

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: Purchased for my E-M1 MKII to use on the go, I was immediately surprised by the incredible picture quality, especially in relation to the great focal excursion. I don't know how many targetses of other brands and with a fixed aperture to f/4 can compare with this beautiful glass and metal object. Of course, to be a lens intended for a mirrorless is not really a feather, but for those like me who are used to carrying backpacks with FF cameras, 24-70 f/2.8 + canvases 70-200 f/2.8, just to stay in the focal range, the overall weight of M1 and 12-200 is practically nleas. As I wrote in the PRO, the quality of the images is really very high, chromatic aberrations practically absent, distortions in the norm correctable without problems in PP, fixed opening at f/4, stabilization from primacy (in combination with the 5-axis stabilizer of the M1 MKII allows you to take photos at night without easel). The only objective for every situation. My best purchase.

Pros: All

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: Taken for about 2 months, I am excited about this lens ! You can do anything, sharp on the whole image, super image stabilizer, very beautiful colors, LIGHTNING AF, excellent construction and tropicalization, weight does not cause me problems even on long excursions since I do not put any other lens in the bag. I highly recommend to everyone.

Pros: Versatility and excellent IQ

Cons: Cost

Opinion: There are many 10X zooms, but for the first time we don't have to compromise on optical quality. This 12-100 is so versatile and reliable that it allows you to focus only on photography, you no longer have to think about which lens to use, if you need to branch out, if maybe the focal one is weak etc, you just have to take the car and shoot, because it has no real weaknesses, even at TA the IQ remains very high for all the focal points. The dimensions are challenging, of what we are used to seeing on APSC or FF, but it must be considered that no other lenses are needed since focals of 24 to 200mm are covered, and even the 560gr weight at the end is about the same weight as the two optics I used previously. Excellent stabilizer that I use on an un stabilized Panasonic GH1 body. Unfortunately for us, Olympus makes us pay for this great piece of glass: 1000€ round in the physical store, but it can replace 2-3 excellent optics that together would cost equal or more. Used every now and then you find it, but always at a high price.
