Editorial Review: Product Description: In combination with the E3 Digital SLR Camera, this 12-60mm F2.8-4.0 SWD lens delivers fast autofocus speeds. It covers a zoom range equivalent to 24mm to 120mm on a 35mm camera lens. This lens also boasts impressive close-up shooting capability, allowing users to shoot from as close as 25cm throughout the zoom range. The extraordinary autofocus drive provides both high speed and high precision while operating with extremely low noise. Designed to meet the needs of the professional photographer, Zuiko Digital lenses were born of an uncompromising commitment to performance. The lens features high resolving power, to get the most out of the imaging element. Zuiko Digital lenses allow light to strike the image sensor at a near-perpendicular angle, minimizing degradation and light loss. This large, award-winning lens is perfectly matched to work exclusively with digital cameras so every pixel is properly exposed. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Wonderful lensI bought this lens to reduce the number of lenses I carry when traveling. I left three lenses home and used this lens exclusively on a recent trip. The wide end let me take more photos in confined areas and the long end was long enough to get decent magnification on short telephoto shots. It also did a nice job on closeups, although I didn't really spend a lot of time thinking about that use. I use an E-510 camera body and found that focusing was much faster and more precise ... Read More Rating:  - Excellent lens with some issuesI have owned and used this lens for about 4 months now and I must say I am very pleased with the lens. For starters, this lens would fall in the same category as the 14-54mm lens which was the kit lens for the E-1, I used this to replace my 14-54mm lens on the E-510. Initially I was a little disappointed with the large size and weight of the lens when compared to the 14-54mm, but then it made sense as I was getting an additional 8mm in focal length range as well as ED glass to prevent CA. The ... Read More Rating: - The best lens for your E system cameraIf you are looking to replace the kit lens of your E system camera, look no further, the 12-60 mm Zuiko is the best lens out there on the market. Amazing clarity, ultra fast focussing, very good wide lens features all in one amazing peice of hardware. The SWD on this lens provides u with a never vefore seen speed in auto focussing in any light conditions. This lens will allow you to shoot amazing portraits with its large aperture and also capture breath taking panoramas with its 84 degree field ... Read More Rating: - Absolutely fabulousI use this lens on my E-3. I'm somewhere between and intermediate and advanced amateur. The 12-60mm lens has become my primary lens. I leave it attached for walk around photography. This lens has noticeably better image quality over the kit lenses I purchased with my E-500. This lens along with the 7-14mm and the 50-200mm provides the complete focal length range I was looking for. I would have liked a more substantial lens hood. The plastic one is satisfactory. I'm very careful with this ... Read More Rating: - Best general zoom in the universe?Okay, apologies, a slight exaggeration... It is simply the best general zoom on this planet! :) Enough to make users of other brands with bigger market share give envious looks across their shoulder to see what the fuss is all about. Olympus' expertise in optics shines through with this lens and has been commended from all corners from professionals to users to reviewers -- and rightly so. I have had this lens for over 3 months now and it is probably more popular on my E-420 than with ... Read More |
