Pros: Versatility, weight, price, size, autofocus, maximum equivalent magnification 0.46x

Cons: Brightness (when there is little light) and consequent poor detachment of the planes

Opinion: It's a "super" all-rounder more than honest, indeed good ... I don't know that there is another lens on the market that covers from 24 to 400mm weighing 450g and costing just over 500 euros .... For travel and reportage it's fine, but also to do something more. In fact, the autofocus is very fast and accurate, I would never have imagined it... The optical quality is good-fair, the sharpness is more than acceptable, as long as there is light everything is fine, when the light drops the limits emerge mainly due to the low light that "prevents" a dynamic use at sunset and in the evening. It still does well at events, even with low light, such as concerts, theaters, where you can use relatively slow times, and in combination with the OM1 you can even go up to 6400 ISO or more with excellent results. It is certainly not suitable for those who want to go and see the 100% crisp detail, and for sharpness freaks or for those who want to see subjects always well detached from the background and in evidence .... who on the other hand would not be happy even with a Nikon 28-400, which costs 1600 euros, weighs 300 grams more and lacks the 24mm at the bottom ... or with a Tamron 18-300 for apsc that weighs 200 grams more and doesn't have the 24mm at the bottom. Overall it's a fun and very comfortable lens that does its honest job and even something more... Although personally, being very demanding, and not liking compromises, I rarely use it.... But still, it can fit in my kit

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.

Pros: Very extended focal range, weight all in all contained and not excessive bulk

Cons: Where to start... would surely finish Penelope her canvas sooner

Opinion: Needless to waste words, better a lapidary comment: leave it alone, wait a moment if necessary but take the 12-100, another planet or at least the 14-140 Panasonic. Undoubtedly Olympus will have been moved by good intentions, but the result is certainly, to love her, reviewable. Obviously pparlo of optical quality, not comparable in the least to what good this brand offers us, even with wide excursion zoom.

Pros: weight

Cons: quality over 100 mm

Opinion: Purchased and resold again under warranty. Acceptable only up to 100 mm and, considering that Oly offers a 12/100 pro at new and used prices currently very affordable, in comparison there is no history. This judgment of mine does not derive from an occasional use, but from the observation of its obvious limitations. Even in the use for street photography, where quality is not the main element, it made me work a lot in post-production to mask its defects. Not recommended

Pros: Versatile - Crisp - tropicalized

Cons: Dark over 150 mm

Opinion: Excellent lens from stable kit. In little space and with low weight it doesn't make you want anything else. It fully reflects the micro 4/3 philosophy. Discrete construction quality, but over 140/150 mm loses quality. Great value for money. Excellent depth of field and as lens canvases it is unsurpassed if we consider the weight.
