Imaging Resource tested the new Olympus 12-45mm f/4 Pro lens

All in all, despite my initial hesitation with the Olympus 12-45mm f/4 Pro lens, this compact zoom lens is very enjoyable to use. True to it’s “Zuiko Pro” classification, the 12-45mm offers top-notch durability and construction as well as excellent image quality and AF performance.
At the end of the day, if you’re looking for a high-quality and highly-portable zoom lens for traveling, landscapes, general shooting and even portraiture and close-up shooting, the Olympus 12-45mm f/4 Pro lens is an excellent and affordable choice.

Jordan and I have similar tastes: He did choose the Panasonic GF1 as the most important camera while I would have chosen the very similar E-PL1 (which was the first MFT camera I owned).

And I am still surprised to see that this camera can be bought NEW at Amazon :)
