I got my EM10 with this lens and I love it and it is very sharp and well made. I also love how small of a total package it is with the camera. I also have the 40-150 kit lens for portraits which is another great lens. I find out of alot of the kit lenses out there you get alot of bang for your buck with Olympus lenses.
great lens for the price my man. right on with the light weight feel. just gotta be careful not to drop it because you will be very upset and scream. at least that's what happen to me. luckily i found a used on for under $100 and i still use it today. good review on the pros and cons.
It's really unfortunate that these so-called "kit lenses" get passed off and passed over so often. It is entirely possible to get professional quality pictures with it. The only thing I don't like is the slow aperture but hey, what do you expect for a lens which is frequently bundled in with a camera body. I also own the now-deleted Olympus 12-50 and this is the better lens for any number of reasons. The 12-50 is probably better suited to video and also has weather dealing and macro but I never use it, preferring this one almost every time. The only reasons for having the PRO 12-40 over this are aperture, build quality and weather sealing. The image quality is the same, except, of course, at aperture which this lens cannot do. I recommend the 40-150 f/4.0-5.6 for precisely the same reasons.

Very nice shots of San Diego and use of that lens. You've convinced me to keep mine at least for now and not trade up for the 12-45 Pro lens.

Can I Use it with my Canon 800D
... don't collapse this lens, the weakness is the ribbon inside that will fail prematurely after a number of collapses .....
that sound scary...
