Overview

The Panasonic Leica 12-60mm F2.8-4.0 ASPH is a high-end standard zoom for Micro Four Thirds, offering excellent central sharpness across most of its range, with outstanding performance at 40mm. Weaknesses include soft edges at 12mm wide open and at f/16-22. Build quality is robust with metal construction, weather sealing, and smooth controls. It suits photographers who value versatility and portability over constant aperture, though some pros may prefer a fixed f/2.8.
