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

Thanks to the 16x zoom, I don't have to change as many lenses on my planned trip to Africa in July, especially as I sometimes find myself in dusty surroundings. An absolute plus is the narrowness of the weather, as we will be driving to the Victoria Falls. The pictures I took with it focused quickly and were quite sharp. The only drawback is the narrow zoom ring, which I quickly got used to. You can zoom in or out with the lens extended. Zooming out when it's pointing up is almost impossible, as is zooming in (zooming in) when it's pointing down. This is an issue I'm willing to live with for its performance and convenience. I highly recommend it.
