Like great jeans

I'm a little surprised I haven't reviewed this lens yet. This is my favorite lens. I use it extensively for videos and it's great. The lens is relatively small, making it easy to balance on my Ronin gimbal. It's fast, I have no problem opening this thing when needed. I definitely have no problems at f2.8 and below. The lens has excellent color saturation and sharpness. it really is almost perfect. So I've had this little guy for about 4 years now and during that time he's been on my main camera about 75% of the time. Sometimes I shoot with a tripod, so I use the appropriate Oly 12-40mm f2.8 (also a fantastic lens). but that's about it. While there are a few MFT lenses that I prefer for stills, nothing beats the Oly Zuiko 12mm for gimbal video (I've used it on the Osmo Pro and my Ronin with the GH4 and GH5). Final verdict, if you're shooting video with an MFT camera and using an Oly Zuiko 12mm stabilizer, this is an absolute must. 5 Stars
