This is a professional quality 'super zoom' with a ratio of 8.5:1. It has a constant f4.0 aperture. It has built-in stabilisation which will also work in harmony with some Olympus bodies (those with Sync-IS) to give top class stabilisation. The manual focusing ring and clutch systems is another nice feature of Olympus Pro (and selected premium) lenses. Optically it is very sound and delivers professional standard performance. It is not light (a good deal heavier than the regular Olympus 14-150mm) but equally it is portable and easy to use, especially with the more substantial Olympus and Panasonic Lumix camera bodies. The relatively compact design and reasonable weight come at the expense of that constant f4.0 aperture. For those wanting high quality in just one lens which will cover many, if not most, regular day-to-day types of photography, it is a really great solution. If you also carry a 100-400 you would have, in 35mm terms 24mm to 800mm in two lenses - and of course there are also very good 1.4x and 2x teleconverters. Add a third lens with a really wide aperture and one would have a compelling set of kit.Read full review

The Olympus 12-100 f4 Pro is a really versatile lens for walking about with. It is fully weather sealed and give really sharp images. The stabilisation is great as with all the Pro lenses. The only down side is possibly the f4 aperture in low light, but to to get such a small lens with the zoom range and at the price, this has to be expected. I would definitely recommend this lens to anyone who wants to use one lens only for day to day use.

A great all-in-one lens for the Olympus micro 4/3s range, the build quality is first class and the glass is sharp and CA free. I even use it on my Pen-F but then it feels like a lens with a camera attached rather than the other way around. 😀

Excellent travel lens with its full frame equivalent focal length of 24-200 and with it being light enough to carry saround all day.

I had heard a lot about this lens and I was looking for a zoom that would allow me to travel without carting around a lot of prime lenses. Covering wide angle to telephoto, this lens meets the challenge perfectly. Stabilisation is quite amazing!!
