The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.  | sent on November 28, 2022 Pros: sharpness, focal range, versatile Cons: Weight sometimes makes itself felt Opinion: Usual excellent lens Olympus Pro completely in metal, great sharpness almost at all apertures and great versatility since it is a 24-200 EQ. Very recommended for trips, various excursions or mountain trekking where you do not always have the possibility or the desire to change lens. Less recommended for light tourist type outings in European cities because after a while the weight and size are felt, but this depends on your resistance. I see it well on bodies like M1 / OM1, on smaller machines it could be unbalanced. The 12-100 coupled with the 17/25 1.2 pro to taste, I think it is a travel kit of amazing quality. |
  | sent on June 24, 2022 Pros: Construction, sharpness, colors, focal range.... in short, everything Cons: I would say nothing Opinion: What can I say, after trying a thousand machines, aps-c sensors, FF... here I am instead to try the m4/3, and I went down in size just for him ... the 12-100 pro f / 4, taken in kit with the m1 mark 3 in promo allows me outdoors with good light to do everything, from the wide angle (starting from a 24mm equivalent is gold), to the tele... and it doesn't even have a focal length where it gets worse, and I'm very picky eh ! Sea, mountains, zoos, trips... he is the ideal travel companion, the various 18-135, 18-150 of any other brand never, never stand comparison. To him I combined 2 fixed lights and with 3 lenses are always in place. What can I say, does it cost? is it hail? does nothing... once you look at the photos taken without even too many pretensions are great. Not to mention the double stabilization, the high res shot with this lens is impressive. 1000% recommended But found the offer with lumix s5 + 24-105 f / 4 ,+ 2 fixed lights ... and I'm back in FF ! |
user236140   | sent on June 13, 2022 Pros: Lightweight and complete to go to the mountains effortlessly Cons: You can't use just one IS (or both or none) and I find that this reduces the battery life of the EM-1, already low in itself Opinion: I've had various mirrorless lenses, the Oly 60mm macro, the Oly 12mm, and almost all the short and medium Pana zooms, but this one brings them together pretty much all and is sharp, light, perfect for a number of itinerant situations, including the mountain with strong (for my physique) gradients; plus it's tropicalized like my EM-1 |
 | sent on November 25, 2021 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 ... |
 | sent on November 23, 2021 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. |
 | sent on January 09, 2021 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. |
 | sent on October 25, 2020 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. |
| sent on October 21, 2020 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. |
 | sent on June 29, 2020 Pros: Sharpness, stabilization, solidity and build quality, Cons: Size and weight but only because the 4/3 micro size has got us used to it well Opinion: Fantastic goal! It's like having the sharpness of all the fixed prime targets of Olympus and Panasonic (and Sigma) between 12 and 100 mm in one body. The lens stabilizer paired with the em1 mark 2 body stabilizer has miraculous, at 100 mm it is quietly snapped by free hand at 1/10 of a second... The AF is lightning and precise. It is massive and gives sensation of great quality, it is weight compared to the average of the lenses for micro 4/3 and the clutter, relative, is remarkable. Excellent minimum distance of maf, the addition of an af extension tube makes it suitable even for interesting macro shots. |
 | sent on March 15, 2020 Pros: Edge sharpness on board, F4, tropicalization, focus, stabilized, pro materials, for the size that has weight contained. Cons: Nobody Opinion: I owned 12/40 pro, I sold it to take risks with this new all-rounder lens diu high quality, well I made the right choice, in my opinion the sharpness unlike the 12-40 you notice from board to board. Af lightning and maximum precision if you work in manual with peak visura. The stabilization combined with that of the machine (possible with M1 II) crazy I photographed at 1" (static elements) without noticing the move. Great color rendering, even blurry pleasant despite having only 7 diaphragm blades. Key functions (as among other pros) tropicalized excellent lampshade, only 560 gr for a 12/100 lens, EVERYTHING I use it in the mountains, street, and portrayed, I risked macrophotography and I was satisfied (without clearly taking anything away from a dedicated macro lens). Recommended for those who do not want to change constantly so many lenses. |
 | sent on March 06, 2020 Pros: Sharpness, flexibility of use, build quality and everything possible Cons: I don't see any Opinion: I bought the lens at Christmas a little doubtful if it could really be worth the expense. The answer is YES! Really fabulous, a crazy improvement, I can make some cute pictures even myself! Landscape, portrait, great bouquet, street, is a truly extreme quality handyman. Try it to enhance your 4/3 system |
 | sent on January 30, 2020 Pros: Perfect for landscape and street trips excursions in the rain, snow, beautiful colors, sharp does not make regret the fixed from 24 to 200 who else? Who uses the 4/3 to have. I forgot, great even at close range. Cons: They don't exist. Opinion: I wanted to spend some of my time to give a personal opinion on the excellent quality of the 12/100 zoom. Let's start from the sharpness already very good at f.4 perhaps the best, it certainly does not regret fixed optics of the excellent park of 4/3, the stabilization is added to that of the OM D 1/2 in fact we travel on 5 stops even something more, bright natural saturated colors. AF performing and fast, construction and tropicalization true and excellent. Perfect for landscape and street, built with technical care, the useful key functions on the body of the lens is very comfortable. It is unfortunate that Juza never considered the test of the 4/3 system and the objective in question perhaps would have been believed again on this system which still has much to say. |
 | sent on December 09, 2019 Pros: That's the best! Materials, tropicalization, stabilization, distance and speed of focus, size, sharpness, constant f 4 light, Cons: Nobody! Opinion: L I used with a m 10 mark ii, which I wanted to sell, since I tried this I totally changed my mind. A fantastic lens, versatile and sturdy, sharp, with a long hike and precise fast focus! Sharpness from 12 to 100 mm. Good bokeh. Perfect x who wants to travel and x who wants to have a lens all do of excellent quality! I recommend it to anyone who has a 4 m 3 car. |
 | sent on October 30, 2019 Pros: All Cons: don't have it Opinion: I had the 12th 40 2.8 I wanted to try this fantastic goal, as I have to say that we are there , maybe the 12th 40 sins at the maximum opening in the edges , which does not do the 12th 100 f4. It is true that you lose a diaphragm and that weighs more, but little, in my opinion it is a wonderful all-rounder optics. Using it with double stabilization thing I don't have you can do nice stuff with slow times. In conclusion I recommend it to those who want to do long excursions and do not have to always change your mind, if you own the 12th 40 2.8 it is difficult to decide to give it for the 12th 100 I would keep them both are optical pro , but I have to choose to monetize. I chose to keep the 12th 100, for the reasons above. I conclude , for now I need the 12th 100 then maybe more 'the' there I would combine a light optics type 17mm f1.2 pro. In conclusion I tried to take a few photos with an em10/3 not really suitable because small, but I have to say that I really like this optics. I found that double stabilization is possible with the EM10/3 just turn on both the button on optics and in the machine . Can you make unthinkable shots with times that even with easel I could not do? joke but it's great, I came almost to a second freehand. Update : I gave away the em10 mk 3 for an M1mk2 that say much more balanced AF lightning and the ability to use the fn key on the lens as yield does not change between the two machines but as ergonomics is a whole other story. |
 | sent on September 01, 2019 Pros: Construction quality, minimum focus distance, stabilization, sharpness, color rendering. Cons: For me, no one. Opinion: I think it is the perfect lens for the country, for which a high depth of field is required and there is no need for focused openings. Top build quality, solid and tropicalized, even better than the Oly 12-40: it's really a pleasure to handle it. Sharp already at full opening, it has the ability to bring out the colors, and then it is tropicalized. The stabilization combined in combo with that of the OMD-M1 II leaves me speechless, allowed me freehand shots with a recovery of up to 8 stops. I find it very funny, it has a really small focus distance, which allows "macro" shots, and a focal length that allows portraits with a good blur in the background. heavy? I would say no, since with this zoom you can leave everyone else at home, and also the tripod considering the excellent stabilization ... do you. |
 | sent on August 08, 2019 Pros: Focal length, build quality, optical quality. Cons: It's an f4 but I don't see it as a real con since even 2.8 zooms often have to be closed to this diaphragm. Opinion: I love it, the real everything do quality. I also have the 14-150II but there is an abyss for the final quality, and giving up those 100mm extra equivalentis is worth the candle. Weight and footprint are not a problem with the m1 II, with the m5 II or the younger sisters the weight is unbalanced forward and makes the shot uncomfortable. For those who take photos of landscapes is a boon double stabilization. For the interior f4 can go well knowing to expose properly and you can safely pull the shot under exposing by 1 stop and then recover it in post reducing the shooting time without exaggerating with the iso. I recommend it, if you then pair the Sigma 56 1.8 as a fixed for portraits and a 17 1.8 for darker interiors also travel light and ready for anything. |
 | sent on July 23, 2019 Pros: Solid construction, tropicalization. Incredible Qi. Cons: Size and weight. Opinion: I was very hesitant about the weight and size important to the mft system. Once I tried it on the field I was thrilled. The versatility of a wide focal extension is added the ability to make incredible closeups with incredible sharpness, very beautiful colors. In my opinion it lacks a bit of microcontrast but it resolves to pp. Ephestation to f4 towards the longer focals makes it better at f5.6. On my recent trip I never regretted the pair lumix 12-35 f2.8th 35-100 f2.8. If weight and footprint are not an insurmountable obstacle this lens is practically perfect. I'm recommended. |
 | sent on May 07, 2019 Pros: Versatility, stabilization, image quality and construction, tropicalization Cons: Vignetting at 12 mm Opinion: All-purpose lens of extraordinary build quality. For the trip is unbeatable, I pair it to 8 mm 3.5, 17 mm 1.8 and 45 mm 1.8. Excellent image quality even at full aperture, vignetting at 12 mm, very impressive stabilization. Surely the weight is felt on the micro 4/3 bodies but on the WCO em1 is well balanced |
 | sent on March 19, 2019 Pros: Really awesome image Quality for a zoom. Cons: Lightweight Extensible Part Play Opinion: I'm an amateur, so my needs are pretty limited. I needed a fast, portable machine that did not give too much in the eye and at the same time ensured a high quality; For this I switched to the MFT, buying an Olympus OM D1 MII, Equipped with the 12-100, taken as a lens all to do. Tested at Carnival I was thrilled with the quality of the images and the overall color rendition. That Said I realized that the extensible part of the zoom has a slight game. I contacted Olympus and was told that it is normal, having the lens to endure any climatic changes, even critical. But who has this optic has encountered the same problem? Or if it is not a problem, feature? Thanks for any answers, Hello Old (John) |
 | sent on January 18, 2019 Pros: Practicality, sharpness, tropicalization and stabilization. Cons: Nessuno...si maybe the weight but it's a lens that you do almost everything Opinion: As many I approached the format M 4/3 because tired of carrying around so much weight and this thing has slowed me down a bit on the purchase of this zoom because coupled with the M1 seemed heavy and cumbersome. Well I rethought the first exit and hyper convinced on the first trip. Because you basically have 3 lenses in 1 with Fovale from 24 to 200 mm! (format 35 mm) to f 4 fixed and you do almost everything with a picture quality to say the least fantastic and an incredible sharpness already at full aperture. If you are traveling is the ideal optics that you appreciate especially in extreme conditions cold, humid, snow, you must never change the lens and even the tripod, thanks to the double stabilization, is no longer indispensable. Go hiking or traveling with a body and a lens.. It's not bad at all. I personally recommend it. |
 | sent on August 12, 2018 Pros: Super Versatile F4 constant, stabilizing by fear Cons: F4 constant Opinion: Lens really well made versatile and constant at all focal lengths, with only one lens you carry a whole set of F4 fixed, it is undoubtedly the best zoom I have ever tried. F4 I put it both among the pros and cons, because if you stay in the usual F4 photographic schemes may not suffice, although sincerely after months of use this problem I have not yet found. The double stabilization coupled with the em1mk2 really makes an impression, if you do not feel it in person you do not believe. Yield and colors at very high levels speed and high precision of fire. |
| sent on April 01, 2018 Pros: Excellent all-round lens. I combined it with the em1 mark2 and I found a beautiful clarity and super colors. In short, it is OLYMPUS. Cons: Nothing maybe a little weight, but try a Canon or Nikon kit and bring them around your neck or in your hand for a day and you'll see the difference Opinion: I had in hand the combined omd em1 mark 2 and this lens in January of this year at the exhibition in Montecchio Emilia and I had impressed, then the friend Lazaro showed me superlative shots so I decided to buy the combination . I travel long and I also have a Canon kit with an EOS 5 III and, despite being of excellent quality and excellent performance, they have a heavy weight to carry. Last year on the runways of Iguazu was an incredible effort and I could not wait to get back to the hotel to get rid of the weight. Then looking at the results I can say that the light weight combines excellent sharpness and the body enhances it with an incredible speed of focus. |
 | sent on January 31, 2018 Pros: versatility, sharpness, construction, weight, Stabilization Cons: dark, weight Opinion: I have this lens for about 1 month, and what struck me the most was the frightening sharpness. Olympus on this one confirms to be one of the Supreme BRANDS. The stabilization... what about guys? On EM1 old, I snapped at 1/2 sec and the image is virtually motionless, microcontrast and sharpness at the edges across the focal range. The robustness and the quality of the materials is really top, the knurling of the zoom ring I find it perfect despite not being rubber. The grip is also perfect with gloves and the size is just for small hands as big as Mine. Usable without too much difficulty unlike microlenses like the 45 or the 17 (which I can not really use with gloves). The weight for me has a double face, as it is both a pro and a cons. It's not too much to curse every time it gets around your neck, but it's also superior to the classic prime lenses that Olympus has used Us. All the pros converge on the versatility, from 12 to 100 mm with constant opening make it the perfect combination of travel. You can do almost 99% of the shots without worrying about anything (tropicalization impeccable), you should not constantly change the lens, you should not worry about carrying several lenses and change them if necessary. The only downside that I would like to emphasize a little is the fact that on M43 an F/4 diaphragm is a bit too little, also given the ability to maintain a dynamic range acceptable to high ISO Sensor. Although there is a small pro on the diaphragm, and is that TA this lens splits the hair in 4, is already sharp at f4, to give the maximum (noticed empirically on my photos) to F 5.6 as almost all lenses Olympus. But for me it is a relative problem because as I click (almost always between 4 and 7.1) I always close it on the 17 f/1.8. I hate the #supermegasipersfocato EDIT: after 1 year of use, the lens is terrific in travel. I don't think there is such a versatile lens and so great optical and constructive quality. |
 | sent on January 29, 2018 Pros: Sharpness, professional construction, optical stabilization, tropicalization. Cons: Nobody Opinion: A fantastic goal. Incredible sharpness at all focal lengths, stabilization in optics that allows you to recover 1 and a half stops and professional construction make this a lens "must have" for professionals and non.rnE 'a lens to do everything, a lens that can save in certain situations (reach 100mm - 200mm equivalent FF). rnIngrombre and weight in my opinion correct that well balance the use of a professional with E-M1 and E-M1 Mark II. rnPrice, perhaps, a little altino but it must be considered that this lens is equivalent to having 2/3 lenses in one. |
 | sent on January 24, 2018 Pros: A travel all-rounder ... Pro! Cons: The weight ... but is normal in a zoom that is like three lenses. Opinion: Great goal as all those of the Pro line. Although already having many fixed, I was looking for a quality all-rounder because I was sick of carrying around many lenses and to disassemble them all the time. Even the solution of having two bodies with two different optics did not convince me ... rnI've tested and with the stabilizer integrated with that of the EM-1, I reached long times unthinkable freehand. The sharpness is at the top at all focal lengths and this, in my opinion, is the characteristic that makes it truly a jewel. The weight can initially seem a lot but then you get used to it. Even the minimum defaramma to f4 is not a bad thing for me, taking advantage of the stabilizer is easily compensated for the stop in less.rnLo strongly recommend those who want an "all in one" of what to always have with you. |
 | sent on August 12, 2017 Pros: All in one !!! Cons: Nobody Opinion: Stunning lens with spectacular sharpness and excellent focal excursion. A 24 200 in 560 grams? Do not talk to me about the size and weight not even compared to 4/3 please buy otherwise light panasonic and plasticosis. The olympus constructs lenses with great materials and such a zoom could certainly not be smaller and lighter. I when I had the FF only the 50 sigma 1.4 weighed 800 grams. Someone says he did not even blur it. Well try it and you'll be amazed. I highly recommend buying. It's a travel goal then I have enough 2.8 to approach if I want but I know already that one of my three olympus does not detach it anymore !!! |
 | sent on May 27, 2017 Pros: Versatile, a handsome handyman! Fast, accurate, pro lens. It feels like it. Cons: To date, nobody lacks F / 2.8, but it would be much bigger. Some say it's too big and heavy, but as far as I'm concerned, it's not too big and not too heavy. Opinion: I've got this lens for a few months and I have to say I was literally wretched! I do it all, I take it with me everywhere! I am surprised every passing day: fast, accurate, incredible autofocus, high image quality, and faithful colors to reality. I would have liked F / 2.8, but you can not have everything in your life, especially because it would be much bigger and heavy, which I do not find it difficult to do now. It's big? When is it enough. Heavy? When is it enough. It does not bother me, it does not matter to me. I just know that I can not help it anymore. Anyone interested, try it out of your own trust store and go home with her again. The fact that it's a f / 4.0 is not fit in low light conditions, so for this reason, bring with me its "cousin or sister (as you want to define it)" 12-40 f / 2.8 to shoot stars or Take pictures in closed and unlit environments. A lens does not rule out the other one, I keep them both because they all together. Not% 26egrave; How to have two doubles, at all. Anyway, coming back to this mythical 12-100, it's really what you hear around. Everything then relates to the use made of it and to the photograph we are looking for, but really let us think about it. |
 | sent on April 26, 2017 Pros: Sharpness, convenience, general quality. Cons: Dimensions, weight (all compared to the m43) Opinion: The typical lens of traveling; When I'm around I love taking pictures of everything, I can go from photographing a butterfly all'inquadrare a seagull flying. The facade of a Baroque church it can draw, but then the eye focuses on the canopy or other particolari.rnPrima I used a 14-150, but 14mm were often too long and the quality of the unsatisfactory edges; now with 12mm I have a field that is able to cover the majority of the photos, 100mm enough to detail and quality is to massimo.rnA all this is added the possibility of making discrete close-up.rnRispetto to 12-40 I did not notice differences in quality, and the integrated stabilizer, which works with that of the machine, allows to recover a large part of the stop differenza.rnSe you search for a handyman lens for m43 this is the alternative to the PRO 14-150; if you go back the buy back. |
