I use the 12-60 on my E-M5 with an MMF-3 adapter. It is a big lens but it has such great IQ that I put up with the size (and the slow auto-focus). I would love a micro 4/3 version as long as the optics were the same. I use some OM prime lenses with the MF-2 adapter. I haven’t really seen a micro 4/3 lens that interests me, aside from the Panasonic 20mm.

Interesting poll, choose one or the other? I WANT BOTH!

Not only would I buy the 12-60mm (and if the quality is close to the four thirds version I’d pay more than $900), I would buy an E-M5 on which to mount it!

The E-M5 with kit 12-50 3.5-6.5 can work in about the same light as the E5 with 14-35 F2!

With a 12-60 F2.8-4 it will take it to a new level… With an F2… well, Ide like to see that – but I doubt my bank would!

To be fair – I think it focuses the same speed as the EP1 kit lens… (0.5sec ish).

Mind you the 12-60mm 4/3 lens is not too bad… prob a shave less than 1 sec to focus… (on EP3)
