Panasonic Lumix G Vario 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 Overview
By B&H Photo's
Compatible with Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras, this 12-60mm lens provides a 24-120mm equivalent focal length range that spans wide-angle to telephoto perspectives.
Three aspherical elements and one extra-low dispersion element help reduce both spherical and chromatic aberrations throughout the zoom range for improved sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy.
A POWER O.I.S. system minimizes the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. This image stabilization system is also compatible with the Dual I.S. function of select Panasonic cameras, which further employs sensor-shift type image stabilization for even more effective control of camera shake.
Rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces a smooth bokeh quality to suit working with selective focus and shallow depth of field techniques.
The splash- and dust-resistant construction benefits working in inclement conditions and harsh environments.

question
How does this compare with the 12-60 f2.8-4? Besides the aperture range changing more, is it the same lens and quality? Thank you.
A Kia is nice. A BMW is better. That is the main difference with these lenses. The higher price gets you a faster aperture, better lens design and better build quality.

question
is this lens giving anyone else a lot of blue flares in pictures? I don't know if its lens or the camera gx8
I use my Lumix G Vario 12-60mm f3.5-5.6 on my GX9 plus the GX7 I had until recently. I don't use hoods, often shoot in the middle of the day, and have never had a flare problem with this lens.

question
Have Olympus Pen E-P3, will Olympus image stabilization work with this lens?
The lens does not have a manual switch to turn the image stabilization on/off. Most Olympus cameras will automatically default to in body stabilization when using Panasonic lenses. I would think the E-P3 works the same way. Hope this helps.
