Re: +1 for the Pan 12-32

I have both the Oly 12-40/2.8 and Pana 12-32 that I use on my E-M5 II. The Oly 12-40 is of course a better lens, but the Pans 12-32 is not far behind regarding image quality. Actually, I got the 12-32 with my GM1 but never really liked it (ergonomically) on the GM1 where I use mostly small primes, but on the E-M5 II it is really nice if you want a small standard zoom kit.

As mentioned later, you can decide in the Oly menu to use IBIS instead of OIS.
