Pros: good focal range, good sharpness, excellent for both blur and depth of field. Lightweight for hiking and opening
Cons: Awkward flare, certainly not pro construction in the movement of the zoom ring and for the dancing barrel
Opinion: Decent kit lens, although marked PRO does not excel compared to other lenses of the brand. The construction is decidedly cheap, compared to other micro 4/3 lenses such as Panasonic Leica for example. It honestly does its job and, if you find it in kit, it is a good all-rounder. Not to buy if you want an optics to improve. Definitely bad in the flare, forget backlight with sun or lights in the room. The zoom ring (perhaps my sample) is not smooth in scrolling but, above all, the barrel wobbles a bit at full travel. The blur is good and the depth of field is good. I follow my opinion, I emphasize, my opinion, after reading the comments that have followed mine. I have owned and used the lens and I have compared it with other lenses I have had and used, from Fuji to Olympus to Leica. Maybe my judgment is very severe but it must be when a lens is sold as PRO. When I hold a lens made largely of plastic in my hand, I think it is, for the price and for the brand, an unacceptable solution if I want to call it PRO. If I keep the zoom at maximum length and the barrel moves, I do it with all the zoom lenses I've had, Sony Zeiss, Panasonic Leica, I can't accept it, I repeat, for the brand and for the cost and for the PRO definition. The flare is present, too present, maybe in certain photographs it is irrelevant, I think it should be said though. Finally, as far as kit lens goes, as a matter of fact, my OM-1 was purchased in kit form with the 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO II. |
