  1. from "poco153", www1.wolfcamera.com
    5.0 Stars the af is a little slow, but certainly on par with or better than my 18-55 kit lens.
  2. from "Wonder", www1.wolfcamera.com
    5.0 Stars i didnt bother buying the d5000 with the kit lens because this great little lends came out.

  1. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars if you are looking to replace the kit lens of your e system camera, look no further, the 12-60 mm zuiko is the best lens out there on the market.
  2. from www.amazon.com
    4.0 Stars for starters, this lens would fall in the same category as the 14-54mm lens which was the kit lens for the e-1, i used this to replace my 14-54mm lens on the e-510.
  3. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars note though, that if you're used to the kit lens, this item's weight and size will be noticeably greater than what you've been using.
  4. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars i would recommend this lens over the kit lens any day of the week.
  5. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars at 21.2 ounces compared to 10.9 ounces for the 14-45 kit lens, the extra weight does tend to unbalance the camera.

  1. from jlangiew from Ft. Greely, AK, www.circuitcity.com
    5.0 Stars this is an awesome replacement to the kit lens and really any higher quality glass that you can find with the range.
  2. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars for me wide angle was important and the 17-70 range of the kit lens was the minimum acceptable.
  3. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars cheap kit lenses do not have this feature.

  1. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars in order to get the most benefit from this camera, do not settle for the kit lens that comes with it.
  2. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars the kit lens is more than decent.
  3. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars you're better off getting this camera plus a really nice lens and a 360fz flash than a more expensive camera with a base kit lens and no external flash.
