Get the 12-40 f2.8 Oly

I've owned the Panasonic kit lenses (14-42 and 14-45), the Pan Leica 25mm and the Olympus 45mm. All of them pale in comparison with the 12-40 f2.8, an exceptional lens. The 12-40 is one of my favorite lenses and one of the best I have used.

You often heare photographers recommend you buy the best glass possible..there is a reason. The clarity for the 12-40 is exceptional (really shines when cropping). Purchasing the 12-40 was easily the best m43 decision I've made.
