The Panasonic Lumix G Vario 12-32mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH Mega O.I.S. is certainly a decent kit zoom lens but regarding its optical characteristics it is nothing special neither in a positive nor negative sense.

The new Panasonic 12-32mm ƒ/3.5-5.6 ASPH MEGA O.I.S. Lumix G Vario lens is a stellar companion to the tiny GM1. It produces excellent, sharp photos at all focal lengths, even wide open, and has minimal distortion, vignetting and chromatic aberration.

This standard zoom lens for Micro Four Thirds (MFT) system cameras may not seem like anything special when looking at the on-paper specification, but it collapses down to a minuscule 24mm long.

For a kit lens, the G Vario 12-32mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH Mega O.I.S. is a respectable performer and a good choice for everyday snapshooters when size and weight really matter.

The LUMIX G VARIO 12-32mm F3.5-5.6 ASPH is a tiny and incredibly light standard zoom lens that's very much at home on the equally small DMC-GM1 camera. The build quality is surprisingly good, the OIS system effective, and it offers excellent image quality throughout the focal range when stopped down...

This is one of those times when a lens manufacturer just gets everything right. This optic is sharp, lightweight, compact, nice to use and not overly priced. Some people may find the lack of a manual focus ring is not for them, but even so, it's difficult to not be impressed by this little lens.

Got it as a kit lens for the panasonic GX80. Its very small but has good OIS stabilization. Little to no distortion/CA fringeing. It has accurate and fast AF performance. Anyone saying this lens is not sharp doesnt really know what their saying. It doesnt have any focus ring.

  • +

    Good wide and zoom range. OIS stabilization. Tiny footprint. Very very light. No focus ring. Fast accurate AF performance. Little to no distortion/fringeing. Perfect for gimbal use with feiyutech ak4500 and gx80.

  • -

    No focus ring can be a good thing for others. Too light. Made of plastic even the mount.

I knew what I was getting when I purchased this lens. I wanted a flexible yet compact lens for travel. This is a great and versatile lens but it definitely comes with some flaws. The lack of a focus ring might be one but my gx8 has a decent af system and digital mf system so I’ve managed without it.

Bought this for my Pen E-PM2 to keep it as tiny and versatile as possible, specifically because to my awareness it's the tiniest 12mm lens. Sadly almost everything else about it disappoints, notably the lack of MF (on Oly body) and soft IQ in nighttime photography.

  • +

    -tiny when collapsed -nicer than most (personal) kit lens designs -starts at 12mm

  • -

    -cheap plastic -plastic lens mount -no manual focus -not the sharpest -prone to lens flare at night especially

This lens is great. I use it for shooting videos. It has very good auto focus. It looks very odd on the g7 but it works great. Doesn't have the best shallow depth of field but that is what a prime lens is for. Nice walking around lens. A bit to plastic feeling but feels ok.

A very compact sharp lens. Not as sharp as the 14-42 II, especially in the corners so if you don't mind a larger lens and not quite as wide angle, the 14-42 II is likely a better choice. Although it has a metal mount, it doesn't feel as well made as any other Panasonic lens I've owned.

  • +

    Good quality overall. Tiny. 12mm wide is very useful.

  • -

    Build quality, not as sharp as 14-42 II, less than 3x zoom range.

Ok so this is my review on the lens. I have recently made the switch from full frame to micro 4/3s. That being said this lens is fantastic for the money. I shoot real estate photograph/video for my real estate listings. I also blog quite a bit and this lens holds it down.

This is an extremely small and light take-me-anywhere lens with very decent quality. If you take the size, weight and price into account, this might be one of the best and most versitile lenses around, regardless of system.

  • +

    extremely light, small, real wideangle , very decent quality, pretty fast to focus

  • -

    shortest focus distance could be better, no manual focus ring (but hey, at thiz size...)

I bought to have a smaller overall size for my camera and wanted more flexibility than the usual pancake lens. my only complaint is that it comes with no instructions and it took a while to figure out how it worked - it is not intuitive (others who borrowed my camera during a recent trip had issues...

I bought this lens from a guy that got it with his GM1. I think it should be a good companion for street photo since it covers 24-64 mm focal length. I feel that the images from this lens gives a little high contrast (compare to other lens I have with the same setting).

  • +

    Sharp Light

    A little high contrast

I love this lens! Its small, and is a great companion to my pancake lens and small enough to carry around easily while shooting and still have a wider angled lens!
