The perfect lens to leave on your camera
 
I bought this lens based on reviews seen here and my overall satisfaction with the Olympus brand. Out of the box revealed a high quality made in Japan (not China)lens. The zoom ring is a little tighter than I prefer but still perfectly acceptable.
My heart sank when my E300 wouldn't start after attaching the lens. After some frantic phone calls I learned that I had to update the camera's firmware. The Olympus website is very clear on the procedure and the whole process took less than 15 m...

Olympus 12-60mm
 
I own the Olympus 11-22mm and the 18 to 180 mm and found this to be an great addition. It is quick to focus, a bit more responsive than my former carry aound lens (18-180) and not too bulky to keep on for most of the day. A bit pricey but the results in my photos have been noticeable. It is now my everyday lens. I also have the Olympus 50 to 200mm so have most of my needs covered in the two lenses. Will probably sell the 11-22mm but it is a real quality lens as well

If I could only have one lens, this would be it.
 
This is an impressive lens, fast, wide, fairly long, and close focus abilities. I also own the 14-54mm F2.8-3.5, which had been my walk around lens until this one arrived. The 12-60mm is even sharper than then 14-54mm, which is not slouch.
The 2mm (4mm equivalent) difference on the wide end is VERY noticeable, especially if you are photographing indoors. The 6mm (12mm equivalent) is also noticeable and useful but not as extreme.
If you are used to the 14-54mm you find the...

Olympus Digital 12-60mm Lens
 
Have used this lens for about 3 months now, it is a great all purpose zoom lens (roughly 24-120mm in 35mm terms). The optics are super sharp and the end result is a crisp, clear photo. This lens, although it may appear pricey to some, is worth the investment. With proper care this lens should last a lifetime. Can't wait to see what lens Olympus will provide next for the pro to semi-pro individuals. Would really like an F1.8 through F1.8 10mm-180mm...that would be great and I am sure expensi...
