Re: Is Olympus 12-50mm f/3.5-6.3 any good?

I bought it as part of a kit with the OMD so it was a no-brainer in terms of price. I don't expect to use it much because I bought many other lens, but when I want to travel light it is actually a very good lens. I'll use it on family holidays and other days out when convenience takes a priority over ultimate IQ. The slow aperture means it isn't great in poor light or for shallow DOF, but in terms of IQ in good light it is very accptable indeed.
