Pros:
|
- sharp, low distortion, very flexible, good build quality, weather-sealed
|

The weather sealing and the build quality is excellent for this price. One of the best Kit-Lenses that I ever had!

Pros:
|
Macro Mode, fast AF
|
|
Cons:
|
cheap construction, only f:6,3, no IS, no Lens hood
|
|
small and handy but I am not used to the cheap-construction Level without lens hood
Optics are good with a bit to much CA.
Olympus can do much better.

Pros:
|
Useful 12mm wide end. Overall good sharpness. Macro function.
|
|
Cons:
|
A bit slow aperture
|
|
Compared to other kit lenses I've owned from other systems this is the best so far!
Surely it doesn't match a prime lens for sharpness or shallow DOF, but what it does it does well.
Really find the macro function and 12mm wide end very useful.
Rating is only to be compared with other kit lenses. Not on the same scale as eg the Olympus 75/1.8

Cons:
|
slow tele aperture

The M.Zuiko Digital 12-50mm f3.5-6.3 EZ kit lens was a bit of a surprise. I did not think that I needed this lens but I do like it.
It is very small and light. It is also weather sealed like the camera and focuses very quickly. I like that the wide end is at 12mm. At f3.5 it is not that slow in aperture.
The implementing of the power zoom is well done.
The images are good. Stays on my camera a lot. Here in WA we get a lot of rain so this is a nice lens to have.
I also use the macro function quite often.
The lens did not come with a lens shade so I ordered one from a third party one. Come on Olympus, where is the shade? Thank you, Panasonic.
