Too much research

You have to remember that when you research cameras and lenses you will find a higher percentage of complaint posts than exist in the real world. Problems motivate posts (like yours). Very few people post that their 12-60 has been working fine for three years.

So, with your 12-60, use the hood. If you find it hard to remove as some people have, apply some graphite lube to it or you can file down the plastic bump that holds it in place, just a little. That's what I did.

My 50-200 swd works well with and without the EC 14, so if you find one for cheap and don't mind the weight it's an option. Use the hood on that one too, even though it's about the size of a Big Gulp. The Pro m43 lenses are of course faster and smaller.
