Olympus ZUIKO( 2.8-4.0) 12-60mm DIGITAL ED SWD lens
I started with the OM 2 film camera and have never looked back. Coupled with the E5 and and the 2.8 50-200 SD ED lens, this lens helps to cover a broad range. Olympus has consistently produced good glass and this lens is no exception. Even the 2 kit lens that came with my E 520 produce good results.

Great lens for OM-D E-M1
I purchased this lens before the 12-40mm lens was released to have a walk around lens for my OM-D E-M1. The zoom range and f- stop combination is ideal for most of my photography, landscapes and informal portraits. The one star reduction is for autofocus.

I would buy this product again!
A great all purpose lens. It is fast and takes tack sharp pictures. I use it on both the E-5 and the E-620. By far one of my favorite lens. Wish I had purchased this a long time ago!

Good value and performance beyond my expectations
It is a remarkably versital lens with impressive specifications. It performs beyond my expectations. I especially like wide-angle capability. Quality is great and price was very reasonable on e-Bay.

Best images of any zoom
The best combination of image quality, handling and focal length range of any zoom lens I have ever used. Although the 12-60 zoom is heavy the lighter and equally high quality 14-54 zoom does not possess the excellent range and handling of the larger lens.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Quick Focus
- Rugged
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Heavy

Improved low light shooting
I got this lens second hand from Adorama but would be hard pressed to tell it from new. It came with lens caps and hood and a belt mounted lens case I wash't expecting. This lens is as fast as all the reviews say and at f2.8 resolves the issues I was having with the Olympus kit lenses (14-42mm) not...
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
Cons:
- Heavy

The reviews of this lens all rated it highly so I was reasonably confident that this would be better than the lens that was bundled with my ancient E-500 (as it should be for that price). It is noticeably better even through the viewfinder.

Fast auto focus with E5
When I upgraded to the E5 from the E 520 I decided to up grade to this lens for my son's wedding since I got drafted to be the photographer. I couldn't be more sttisified with the combo.

Olympus 12-60mm f/2.8-4 ED SWD Zuiko Digital review by dda
I sold my Olympus gear and went over to the Nikon side - two things I miss however : my 12-60 and my 50-200. Both lenses were perfect ... If it wasn't for their SLRs, I would still be with Olympus. The lens quality is just ... awesome.
Pros:
- Sharp - extremely sharp / build quality
Cons:
- none
