I must have bought hundreds of lenses in my time, with a cupboard full of primes and zooms of various formats, focal lengths and apertures . And one thing I have learnt is not to expect too much from cheap-ish walkaround kit lenses with 5:1 zoom ratios - like this! But all rules are made to be broken, and this one certainly surprised me on test. And in a good way. Optically, it really exceeds expectation, with sharp centres and even decent edges from wide open. Stopped down, everything tightens up nicely and is essentially optimal by about F7.1. CA is of course dealt with in Panny bodies, and it works well with their dual IS, too.AF speed is decent and decentering was not an issue on my copy.Tested against the considerably more expensive PanaLeica 12-60, its performance proved wholly comparable within the available aperture range. Of course, that has an extra stop available, and is much better built - but what do you expect for double the price?In short, this lens offers excellent VFM and an ideal range of focal lengths for a walkaround. It's a bit plasticky, iffy for low light situations and is certainly no speed demon, but what it does, it does well. It's probably a better match for Panasonic m4/3 bodies than for Olympus, but there are plenty of good ones knocking around in sensible price ranges!

Wanted to replace the Lumix 12-32 that came with my GX9. Basically wanted the same focal length (24mm equiv) at the wide end with more at the long end. And the 12-60 ticks all the boxes. A 24-120mm full frame equivalent focal range all wrapped up in a small and lightweight package.Already read the pro reviews, so knew the optics made this one of the best kit lenses out there. Just wasn't ready for just how good the optics are. And the price is very good on the secondhand market.Despite being a mainly plastic lens the build and tolerances are excellent. Nice smooth zoom action and manual focus. The lens is also Power OIS, so fully compatible with the newer Panasonic bodies that use Dual OIS,combining body stabilisation with optical stabilisation. The front element is non rotating, so great for filters. Takes 58mm filters, so filters are not expensive. Fast AF.It basically has no downsides except the boggo standard max aperture of f3.5-5.6. And that would be the only reason for choosing the pricier lenses. But if you already have a few of the faster primes you have that covered anyway.Double thumbs up this lens. This is why you go Micro 4/3. A full frame 24-120 on a full frame DSLR body would be a monster.

I bought this to go on a Panasonic DC GH5 body and it replaces a 14-42mm lens on my old camera. It is significantly better than the old lens because of the greater zoom range and its about the same size and weight. I don't think that it is worth paying a lot more for the H-ES12060 which costs more than twice the price but only gives a single stop greater aperture with a wider aperture unless you have a special need. It's manual zoom rather than motorised and it's not easy to spot that fact from the specification so that might be a disadvantage for video photographers.

This is my default lens on my Panasonic GX80 or G80 micro four-thirds cameras. The zoom range of 12 to 60 mm covers both wide angle for group photographs; photographs of whole cars at car shows; but then allows sufficient zoom to get closer than the standard kit lens.The f-stop range of f/ 3.5 at 12 mm gives a good bright image even in indoor lighting. For its cost this lens does 90 % of what the more expensive lenses with better f stop range can do.

This lens sometimes gets a bad reputation but I have found it to be a very sharp optic corner to corner from wide to telescopic. It covers a very useful range (24-120mm in full frame terms), has a metal mount and is very well made, for £126 it was a no brainier! I have no hesitation in recommending this fine lens as a fantastic kit lens.

I bought this to replace the 12-50mm Olympus lens and it is definitely a couple of notches above it in terms of image quality. I also had the Panasonic 14-140mm f3.5 - 5.6 for extra reach, but I prefer the image quality from this lens and the 14-140 has been sold as it was never being used.

This is a good lens good for everyday use. Good price £349 which is half the price of the f2.8 equivelent. Not great for night photography being f3.5-5.6 but good enough.This 12-60mm is equivelent to 24-120mm on Full frame

A really useful lens with a great focal range that can be left on camera 90% of the time. Clear, quite quick, although the f/2.8 would be nice but too expensive, and great value.

Suits my requirements just fine, using it on a Panasonic GX7 and gives me exactly the range of focal lengths I was after.

It’s not enough wide lens that I expected, but for the price, it’s worthy. The delivery is big tumb up xxx
