Thanks for the video. I have both lenses (the 12-35 is from my office and therefore not exactly mine even if I can use it). I have done some significant tests and I can confirm that with PhotoLab DXO the chromatic aberration is perfectly corrected even at ul 12-60. My thought is that DXO has worked a lot on optical correction and this allows you to use even relatively cheap lenses without having to put up with their defects. I must say that with my triad, 35-100 mark 2 (wonderful) and with the 25 1.4 Leica (in my opinion one of the best lenses for the M43) I can face any situation, even if my dream remains the 12 mm 1.4. Thank you and have a good day

Thanks Todd. Most useful. I am photographing exhibition openings and the lighting is a bit dark. So I am going to get this lens to go with my Panasonic G9 and my Panasonic GX8 cameras.

Thanks for a helpful and informative video. The kit lenses for MFT seem to be better than average quality.

Thanks Todd. I had both the Pan 12-60 3.5-5.6 and the 12-60 2.8-4. My copy of the 12-60 3.5-5.6 was actually slightly sharper than the 2.8-4 in my tests. It is a great little lens, light enough to carry around everywhere. I made the mistake of selling my copy (when I was flirting with the Fujiflim system) and just ordered a replacement. Also I just ordered the Lumix 35-100 2.8 II based in part on your recommendation. l have and like very much the 45-150 4-5.6, but decided the wider aperture of the 35-100 would be good. The 12-60 F 3.5-5.6 paired with either of these longer zooms makes a nice portable kit. Thanks again, Robert

Conseguí poco a poco lentes para mí Gh4, ninguno de estos dos. Los lentes de kit siempre me han servido bien. Solo está vez compré sin lente y la única razón era que no tenía más dinero.

I have the 12-60 Lumix and the 25/1.7 and consider(ed 😂) the 12-35 to replace them for photographing our children playing indoors and as an allround Zoom. But 2.8 is even to slow for indoors sometimes. And I really like the range and quality stopped down from the Zoom and the light-gathering power from the prime. On the other Hand 1.7 Aperture makes the Depth of field very small at close distance. I think I’ll keep both and about the 40-ish mm primes. But I can do most things with 25 mm. Thanks for giving some food for thought.👍

I use the 12-60 daily. Great kit lens 24-120 equiv. For jobs I sometimes rent the 12-35. Awesome and fast compact lens. Expensive for my budget though, so I wouldn't want to use it daily for fear of damage.

Curious what a pro with a 2.8 zoom uses it for versus primes? Do you do any portraiture with the pro level zooms or other types of images? Everything for me will be personal shooting except when I do portraiture. For that I will have the 56mm Sigma 1.4, 45mm 1.8 Oly, 25mm PL 1.4, and 15mm 1.7 PL. Do you do portraits with the 35-100mm? Edit: On micro four thirds. Many pros use 2.8 zooms on FF for portraiture along with zooms, but I haven't ever tried a 2.8 zoom on M43 to see how it fares.

I’m sure that 12-35 is great. And getting Bokah at f2.8 would for sure be better. But I have that 12-60 and it’s is razor sharp. Go ahead pixel peep it’s an amazing lense. Not going to lie I still want both 😂
