I bought this lens to use as a "travel zoom" for my Olympus PEN-F, and to be honest it was a bit of a pleasant surprise performing better than expected.

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.
