I've had the lens for all two seconds but it seems fine. My complaint is about the information listed. I went to buy a pack of NDs / Filters and there is no information posted as to the diameter of the lens. I was stupid enough to go off the photo of the lens (should have known better).

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

Ever since small mirrorless cameras first appeared on the market, manufacturers seem to have been obsessed with making their supplied standard zooms smaller and smaller. And none more so than Panasonic, which has made a whole series of 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 zooms of ever-decreasing size before settling...

"I got this lens as part of my new G85 kit. This is a fabulous zoom lens. I?ve tested sharpness, centre and corner, with my benchmark Edmund Scientific Company test chart using on-camera flash, tripod, with IS turned off and 2-second self timer to trigger the shutter.

Announced at the CP+ show in February, Panasonic's Lumix G Vario 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 Asph. POWER O.I.S. lens is a cut above the standard kit lens. Covering a wider angle of view and with a slightly longer telephoto extension, it is equivalent to a 24-120mm lens on a 35mm camera.

I will preface this review by saying I already have Panasonic's two f/2.8 Pro lenses (12-35 and 35-100), as well as an assortment of other prime and ultra-wide and long zoom lenses. So why did I pursue their new 12-60 Primarily because of its versatility.

The LUMIX G VARIO 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. standard zoom offers a versatile focal range of 24-120mm in a relatively small package, backed-up by very good image quality throughout the focal range and impressively fast and quiet autofocusing.
