Great Lens
This is a great standard zoom for my em5 mark iii. It is light weight and comfortable to use. I appreciate the build quality, smooth operation, and weather sealing. The optics are excellent. The F4 maxium aperture generally suffices for me. I value the light weight and slightly longer zoom range of this lens over the faster speed, but heavier weight of the 12-40 F2.8. In low light conditions, I reach for a prime.

Perfect outdoor activity lens
This lens has quality optics, weather sealing, and is extremely compact. Several online reviews say one should spend "a little more" and get the F2.8 12-40mm pro lens. However I believe they are missing the point. For starters the faster lens is $450 more. It's also considerably bigger and heavier. I wanted a small, light lens to carry while hiking and cycling. My E-M5 MIII with this lens provides exactly the quality photos with minimal size and weight I want

Super sharp lens with good zoom range.
Great all around lens that is super sharp. The zoom range will make it my "walk around" lens to use on my Olympus E-M5 Mark III camera. The dust and splash proof design will let me be out in damp or dusty conditions without worrying about damaging it. I like that it is light and compact.

Excellent Lens
I bought this lens with OM D E M5 Mark III, It is a perfect lens with this camera. The sharpness of this lens is unbelievable and the size makes it a perfect all around lens. Couldn't be more satisfied.

Great lens for outdoors!
I bought this lens as a package with the E-M5 Mark III. Awesome lens. Great for nature photography and landscaping. This is my first PRO lens, and probably not my last!
