    Overview

    The Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0 SWD is a premium standard zoom for Four Thirds (24-120mm equivalent) with fast, quiet SWD autofocus and dust/splash-proof build. Optically, it delivers excellent sharpness, especially in the wide-to-normal range, with minimal chromatic aberration and vignetting. Weaknesses include strong, complex distortion at wideangle and slight corner softness wide open. It suits Four Thirds users seeking a versatile, high-quality general-purpose lens, particularly with weather-sealed bodies.
