Amazing Lens!
The Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Lens has quickly become my favorite lens. Is is perfect for all occasions? No, of course not, but it is extremely versatile. The 24-400mm equivalent focal length lets me go from wide angle to a very close up zoom in a small package. This has become my everyday lens. It stays on my OM-D E-M5 Mark III 99% of the time. This lens has gone around my yard, neighborhood, town, and a few minor league baseball games with me. It never fails to deliver.

Best Multi-purpose lens.
Took this lens and the M.ZUIKO ED 12-40MM F2.8 PRO on a vacation. I left the M.ZUIKO ED 40-150MM F2.8 PRO at home due to weight. I used the 12-200 in every situation except one where the lighting was lower and I could not use the flash. The pictures even in most lighting came out great. I would love to have an overall 12 to 200 f2.8 or 4.0 but the weight would be preventative to hike around with. The 12-200 is a decent compromise for a lens. It handled everything I used it for and the pictures looked great.

Great lens for Near & Far
This lens has really changed my mind on the quality and capabilities of lenses with very variable ranges. I've gotten some great, sharp pictures at 12mm and wonderful high zoom pics all the way out near 200mm. Honestly, I love the quality of images I've been able to capture from so far away. Having quality glass in a weatherproof build that's capable of so much in drastically different situations has allowed me to keep a single lens on more regularly and to get a shot quickly without having to swap out lenses for a different focal length. I hate the feeling of missing a picture because I had to change something, and this lens means I miss so much less than before. Thanks, and congrats Olympus on another winner.

Great all-in-one lens for travel and situations where focal length needs may change quickly
Excellent all-in-one zoom solution is great for travel and for situations where you need to change focal lengths in a hurry. Sometimes, swapping lenses may cause you to miss that "perfect" shot. However, with the 12-200mm, which offers a 35mm equivalent of 24-400mm, you can easily go from ultra wide to long telephoto with a single lens, reducing the need to swap lenses. Given the range, it is not super fast, but a faster lens would have been larger and more expensive so Olympus chose to stay in the sweet spot and in bright sunlight, the 12-200 can stay on your camera all the time.

Buy this if you only buy one lens
All recent reviews nailed this lens' benefits. The ideal travel lens when paired with my E-M5 Mkiii body. I also have a 14-45mm f/4 and may sell it, because the 12-200mm is just so good.

Great lens to always have on your camera
Pictures are sharp, lens operation is smooth and easy. I took a two week vacation with only this lens on my OM-D E5 II and never felt a need for anything else.

Excellent photos, iffy stiff handling
The lens arrived a week before we left for a cruise, so I didn't return it, but the zoom action is extremely stiff and "sticky" on this particular example. That notwithstanding, the photographic results have been outstanding attached to my OMD E-M5 with over 1,000 photos taken already in all kinds of light and humidity conditions, but no temperature extremes.It seems to have "loosened up" some with use, but I still would not characterize it as "smooth zooming." That is the one reason I did not give it a 5-star rating.

Versatile lens with excellent quality
This is an amazingly versatile lens, both the focal length range and the very good close-up capability. Is it as sharp as my f/2.8 lenses? Not quite, but still very good. I purchased this lens primarily for hiking and backpacking, where I often don't have time to switch lenses, and often am in dusty conditions where even with the camera's great dust reduction, bad things can happen when the lens is removed. On a recent backpack in the Utah desert I even shot star trails, using the Live Composite feature, with great results. The lens does vignette, especially wide open, but the built in lens profile usually takes care of that in LR

Excellent all around lens for most shooting.
This is an ideal all around/walk around lens. With the efov range of 24-400 it basically gets most things I would shoot. I used a Nikon 28-300 lens in the past which I loved but I believe this Olympus lens will be my favorite by far. With weather shielding and camera stability as well as reasonable weight, it will be my most used lens by a lot.

A very good general purpose zoom.
The lens is quite remarkable for a lightweight, long range zoom. It is light and nicely balanced on an E-m1 II. Focusing is quick and precise. Sharpness and bokeh are very good for a medium priced lens. There is some trace of color fringing but it is very slight and does not generally require any correction in postprocessing. It is an excellent choice for a travel or walk around lens.

Can't recommend it more
This is an outstanding lens. Professional quality from the wide to the tight end, and a really useful zoom range of 24-400mm (35mm equivalent). Focusing is quick and silent, and the image stabilization when used with the EM1x or EM1- II is astonishing. If you can hold the camera solidly, exposures of 1/2 second produce great sharpness. Build quality is also outstanding. There is nothing I don't love about this lens. This is the lens I keep on the camera when I travel as it does everything well.
