## Overview

The Panasonic Lumix G Vario 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH. lens offers a versatile 5x zoom range starting at a wide 24mm equivalent, ideal for diverse shooting scenarios. Engineered with dust and splash resistance, it’s built to perform in tough conditions. Featuring Power O.I.S. and Dual IS compatibility, it ensures steady, sharp images even handheld or in low light. Its compact, lightweight design and advanced 11-element lens construction deliver professional-grade optical quality, making it a top choice for Micro Four Thirds users seeking value and reliability.

## Description

With 24 mm wide-angle and 5x Zoom (24-120 mm KB) lens, it is suitable for flexible applications from landscape to portrait. This makes the lens more powerful than ordinary standard zooms, which mostly only start from 28 mm focal length combined with a 3x zoom. It gets its exceptional robustness thanks to dust and spray water protection, as well as a compact size, that cannot be achieved in conventional SLR cameras. Typical for Lumix, the Power O.I.S. image stabiliser ensures wobble-free recording by hand or in low light conditions. It is also compatible with dual stabilisation (Dual IS) to provide an even more effective equalisation of camera shake blurring.

Review: Impeccable optical performance for the price - I must have bought hundreds of lenses in my time, with a cupboard full of primes and zooms of various formats, focal lengths and apertures . And one thing I have learnt is not to expect too much from cheap-ish walkaround kit lenses with 5:1 zoom ratios - like this! But all rules are made to be broken, and this one certainly surprised me on test. And in a good way. Optically, it really exceeds expectation, with sharp centres and even decent edges from wide open. Stopped down, everything tightens up nicely and is essentially optimal by about F7.1. CA is of course dealt with in Panny bodies, and it works well with their dual IS, too. AF speed is decent and decentering was not an issue on my copy. Tested against the considerably more expensive PanaLeica 12-60, its performance proved wholly comparable within the available aperture range. Of course, that has an extra stop available, and is much better built - but what do you expect for double the price? In short, this lens offers excellent VFM and an ideal range of focal lengths for a walkaround. It's a bit plasticky, iffy for low light situations and is certainly no speed demon, but what it does, it does well. It's probably a better match for Panasonic m4/3 bodies than for Olympus, but there are plenty of good ones knocking around in sensible price ranges!
Review: Suits my requirements just fine - Suits my requirements just fine, using it on a Panasonic GX7 and gives me exactly the range of focal lengths I was after.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this lens have 5x optical zoom? (it refers to 0.27x under 'compare with similar items')**
A: Yes in the sense that 60mm is five times 12mm.  This is an equivalent to a 24mm to 120mm zoom lens in 35mm film terms i.e. for a full frame sensor.  Since a Micro Fourth Thirds sensor is smaller, it is expressed as 12-60mm as the 'multiplication factor' is 2.  I love this lens - the zoom range is useful, the zoom ring is a pleasure to use, it's not too big or bulky, and I find that the images are fine.

**Q: Can I use it for panasonic lumix g7**
A: It has Micro Four Thirds mount, so yes. https://cameradecision.com/Panasonic-Lumix-DMC-G7-lenses

**Q: How good on an Olympus omd 10 mk2 body**
A: It's brilliant on all Micro 4/3 bodies, Panasonic and Olympus. The only thing the Olympus bodies miss out on is dual OIS. But that doesn't really matter.

**Q: Will this lens work with Olympus micro four thirds cameras?**
A: Yes it will as they both use the micro four thirds lenses
