Pros: Good focal range, stabilization (double stabilization if supported by the camera body), constant f/2.8, sharp at any aperture, quite compact and light

Cons: in general price, poor flare resistance

Opinion: I come from the Panasonic 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6, a cheap lens but well built, stabilized, very light and with a fabulous focal range (24-120mm "FF equivalent"), but too dark for my uses... f/5.6 on the telephoto side forced me too often to raise the ISO to values unusable by my Gx85 and G85. This 12-35mm has a less exciting focal range, but it makes up for it with the constant f/2.8 aperture, the excellent construction and a very homogeneous rendering at the various apertures at all focal lengths. Its main competitor, the Olympus 12-40mm, according to online reviews is optically better, but also longer and "significantly" heavier (while remaining far from the weights of equivalent zooms for larger sensors, let's be clear), as well as not stabilized. The only major flaw of this lens is the price... And in fact I only grabbed it for an exceptional offer from a well-known shop in Reggio Emilia.

Pros: Pretty much everything

Cons: I'd say nothing.

Opinion: I have been possessing this lens for several years, in my opinion it embodies, like the 35-100 f/2.8, the very essence of the spirit of the Micro 4/3: very small size and weight (compare it to a 24/70 f/2.8 for full frame....), quality (sharpness, brilliance, beauty of the blurred)and construction at the top. The aberrations, which are there, are corrected very well by the Panasonic bodies, Olympus does not, they must be corrected after the event. I didn't try series 2, but I don't think that changes much. In conclusion, a real handyman.

Pros: Sharpness, color rendering, constant openness, build quality, weather sealing, size.

Cons: In some backlit I find excessive the ghost flare even if the lens should be optimized against green halos, weight - compared to other MFT lenses - it feels.

Opinion: Excellent lens, you do everything from landscapes to portraits, remarkable for video. For over a year I use this lens before of Lumix G5 and then GH4: Crazy definition, versatility, excellent build quality of zoom for shooting in 4K. I had the 14mm f / 2.5 and the Sigma 30mm f / 2.8 but since I have this lens I eliminated all fixed, except those under an f / 1.8, where you can appreciate the difference of light brought to sensore.rnLente to say the least essential.

Pros: Brightness, sharpness, Quick AF, Stabilization, Build Quality, Tropicalization, Weight (when mounted on the camera type SLR-like OM-D and Pana G)

Cons: High cost, Weight (when mounted on small camera)

Opinion: Taken for use on OM-D E-M5 instead of the 12-50 kit lens. rnSi is a quality lens "pro", with a high cost, however, appropriate to what is leads to casa.rnL 'lens weighs 300 grams and is along a little more' than 7 centimeters. This can 'be much, if you own a small mirrorless, for which would be the most' appropriate lens type "pancake". If you have a camera like the Olympus OM-D series or G series or the Panasonic GH, and this' a lens that fits perfectly and makes the whole thing perfectly balanced with a total weight between 700 and 900 grams. It is clear that compared to a Nikon / Canon Full Frame with its 24-70 or a 17-55 with APS-C levels are on weight and dimensions of less than half, with an optical efficiency of the overall quality paragonabile.rnrnIl ' lens is great, very much in line with what is expected, in particular, I was impressed by the good color rendering, but also how we risolvenza in pieno.rnrnLa quality construction & grave, excellent, weather sealed (unlike what was said in the board), metal and plastic barrel, perfect smoothness of the rings. rnrnL'autofocus is lightning, the optical stabilizer does its job very well, the results are identical to the stabilizer 5-axis sensor of the E-M5 (remember not to leave them both active). rnrnTirando sums a lens strongly recommended for those who want to "get serious" in the world Micro4 / 3.

Pros: Size-weight (300g 7cm), bright, fast AF, quiet, uniformity center edges, efficient OS, sharpness and contrast, Boken, excellent yield of Olympus.

Cons: Cost, distortion and vignetting very high if not corrected by software (Olympus), Hood ineffective.

Opinion: Tested only Olympus Om d-EM5.rnPremetto I also covered by the fixed focal lengths of Olympus (12-45) Panasonic (25) RNLA figure that you spend to get hold of this little gem may be high, low or right. I have found almost new with a 30% discount. With its brightness its weight and its size has no competitors to make comparisons. rnIl m4 / 3 is not only the size of the sensor, but a philosophy of design and construction that meets certain requirements of compactness in size with a lens design subject to the correction of files through software, minus lenses in a lens design means lower cost of production for the manufacturer but also less parameters to be corrected at the expense of others. In my opinion we must consider the end result of your photos and make judgments about questo.rnIo come from the Full Frame and for almost ten months I've been using with great satisfaction this system m4/3.rnIn zoom all the design philosophy of the system m4 / 3 is mature, perfect for shooting video, autofocus quickly and accurately, an entire kit from wide angle to medium telephotoin 7 cm and 300gr, what about ... fantastic! RNLA final quality of the images leaves little room for uncertainty, contrast and detail are calibrated to a sharpening effect that leaves little room for further "push" without the risk of exaggeration. To view the pictures you have the impression that they were taken with optical "pro" and the gap with the quality standard zoom lens is clear, this confirms the quality of the glass and of the optical system used, it should be compared with the 12-35 Fixed m4/3.rnConsigliato best! rn
