Customer Reviews:
A must buyJuly 22, 2008 Mr. S. Wilkins(Wigan) If your serious about Photography, and bought into the Olympus E Range of DSLR's this lens should be one at the top of your shopping list.
12-60mm SWD is currently one of the best lenses on the market, with a decent F2.8-F4 and very quick & quiet focus on both the E4xx & Exx & quicker still on the E-3.
I currently have this lens on my E-510 thou it a pretty big lens it seem to feel just right on my camera.
The lens is tack sharp even wide open doesn't suffer from either any Vignetting or CA from what i can tell, thou is some slight distortion at the 12mm end, thou this it not really a problem.
I used this lens at a freinds wedding the other week, and the pro photographer taking wedding picture was really impressed with the sharpness & contrast this lens gives you. In the box you get the usually stuff inc both lens hood & leather pouch.
Thou this lens is expensive to me it worth every single penny. And i totally recommend it,
