The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Small, light, handy ideal for street photos and reportage.
Cons:Bright within the limits of this lens, but adequate for price and use.
Opinion:The classic handyman of medium canvases that we find in all brands of obbietti for generalist use, such as street and reportage. In these goals we do not seek the maximum of sharpness, resolution and range, it has to do its job and this 12-60 does it great. I combined it during the purchase phase with a Panasonic GX9, a great machine for use that I make of it and with this 12-60 I get street photos that with my Nikon Z6ii and Z7 I would have dreamed of. You go completely unnoticed, you shoot two meters away from people who don't notice and I get incredible results. I am considering completing everything with a canvas such as the 45-175 and I think I have excellent equipment, light versatile. Trying to believe, it does not work miracles, but its duty and does it well, very well, like others more famous and expensive.
Opinion:I took this lens to replace the 12-32 and have a greater versatility of use without having to carry other lenses around, especially in those situations where there is no time and way to replace the goals. Leaving aside the qualities already listed, to which I can just add a greater and constant image quality on all the focal points compared to the 12-32, I find rather annoying that it will close to f/5.6 already at just over 40mm. I'm not saying it had to get to 60mm, but it wasn't that sudden either. Taken used at a good price, I definitely wouldn't buy it again.
Cons:I can not find fault, I find only annoying the lack of a switch to activate or deactivate the stabilization, the being 3.5-5.6 NIN I consider it a defect, for the F 2.8 you go on other with other prices
Opinion:It's the zoom I use the most. The focal length ranges from 12 to 60, so you do everything. The sharpness Val from the excellent to the exceptional. Those who have had the opportunity to compare it with the Leica 12-60 do not report appreciable differences apart from the possibility of the Leica to have larger openings. The lens is pretty much always mounted on my room and is giving me a lot of satisfaction. In the past I used the Zuiko 14-42ez, since I took the Lumix Zuiko I use it only when I have to put the camera in my pocket
Pros:Excellent in all respects, sharp even at 60mm, where according to MTF charts should be lacking. Good performance also as a close-up lens. Light and compact.
Cons:Focus ring without reference, uncomfortable to use for manual focus. Obviously it's not very bright.
Opinion:Taken in kit with the intention to replace it with some pro lens, it made me recreate and remained in my kit. Really effective throughout the focal range and really versatile, good even for close-ups. At 12mm is sharper than the Samyang 12 F2, at 60mm it loses comparison with the Olympus 60 macro, but it does not disfigure. Very good price-performance ratio.
Opinion:Good lens everything to do, covers from wide angle to medium tele, comfortable in most cases, including lens hoods. It offers excellent sharpness, also thanks to the M43 sensor, I use it on WCO 5mkii, the only new opening, but it is still a good quality compromise at the right price. I recommend it to those who like me, wants to carry around from 24mm to 120mm equivalent, in a single lens, for light outputs.
Opinion:Honest kit lens, performance much higher than you can imagine. I took it because it offers a very good focal range and it is weather sealed, feature for me important. From mistress of the fixed I use it in family and itinerant trips where I do not want to lose the shot and behaves excellently. High-level sharpness, fast focus, very effective stabilizer. It is obviously a bit dark, which on M43 is limiting, but this is known and helps to hold a low price. Taken used at €200, for use by handyman with good light I could not ask for better (I would have liked a similar lens when I was in Canon and in Fuji).

Pros:tropicalized, stabilized, construction, sharp, 12/60 EQ at 24/120 light weight, aesthetically elegant, and good feel to the touch. It's not optics from kits as they say. But it's worth much more than the Kit Plasticoni from Canon or Nikin in APSC, type I 18/55. Those are optics from economic kits
Cons:It does not have a constant diaphragm, but this is known immediately, for the rest I have not found
Opinion:I bought two lumix G80 with 12/60 Lens, now one of the two lenses I sold it to replace it with a fixed bright, it didn't make sense to have two machines with the same zooms. However, apart from that, I have already done several services, with these Zoom handyman, light but robust, excellent to the touch in continuous use, sharp in my opinion, happy with the purchase, are tropicalized, the system then double stabilization sensor/lens is Very effective, they allowed me to do nocturnes with 1 second of exposure freehand, I recommend this lens for general use, street, portrait and more, if you do not have special needs or demands. It's fast in focus, even low light conditions.
Cons:not constant brightness (eg 24-120 Nikkor VR 4 but we talk about other weight) well compensated by the OIS or IS system if used on Olympus
Opinion:Purchased after reading some evaluation found on the net. Lens with good sharpness and not excessive distortion. Interesting bokeh. Tropicalization is a not inconsiderable added value. rnNot obviously replaces the classic triads of the 24 - 35/40 - 85/90 equivalents of fixed optics, but represents an interesting compromise especially for those who, like me, are multibrand, and want to understand the potential of the system. Definitely approved for quality / price ratio.
Opinion:Arrived today did thirty shots in a half hour, then still to be tested thoroughly and in optimal conditions. Excellent sharpness, excellent resistance to flare, very low aberration. excellent construction, plasticky but of excellent workmanship and finishing. Pleasing the complexion. Dustproof and splash-proof. Oggiornerò later, with more shots than with the chatter.
