Review on Olympus M.Zuiko 12-200mm F3.5-6.3 Digital ED Lens for Micro Four Thirds Cameras by Maalik Harris

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Really hot! yes, quite difficult!

I was looking for something like a universal lens for my GH5 and I have to say this lens is really good. It's sharp, heavy enough to offer good grip and stabilization, and can be used for almost anything from vlogging to landscape photography to portraits. However, he is not perfect. This lens doesn't do very well in low light when it comes to photos as it doesn't have a fixed aperture, the aperture shrinks as you zoom in, but you can work around this when shooting video. The zoom ring is really smooth but difficult to zoom in when it's facing up due to the weight of the glass. The same happens when zooming out down. I also noticed that it zooms in and out on its own if you release the zoom ring when pointing up or down. Gravity will do its job. I haven't taken any photos with this lens but I'll update this review and upload some for you to see. Ultimately, I would recommend this lens to anyone who likes to travel with just one lens. instead of a bunch of prime numbers.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Not bad
