Olympus Zuiko ED 12-60mm
One of the Best Standard Zooms Around

by KEN BROWNE

The Olympus' upmarket standard zoom in their 'Pro' lens line-up. A good workmanlike focal length range (24mm to 120mm in 35mm-equivalent terms) three extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements (one aspherical) coupled with two further aspherical elements, and one Super ED glass element
The Four Thirds sensor has enabled Olympus to produce lenses which perform to a higher standard than those optimised for other formats

THE SUPERSONIC Wave Drive, offers the 'world's fastest autofocus' when used with the Olympus keynote E-3. The Four Thirds sensor has enabled Olympus to produce lenses which perform to a higher standard than those optimised for other formats and this is a prime example of this superiority and one of the best standard zooms around with notable macro performance too.

There is discernible distortion at wide angle which would need skill to correct but this does not deflect from getting the best possible results a Four Thirds camera can achieve. Quality comes at a price but here it is worth every penny. A winning product.
