Thanks! I’ve been waiting so long… DONE!
Seriously, I don’t understand all this fuss around the EOS.
Ha-ha, I read that as “12-35mm X lens in stock at Amazon for $359.” That would be nice.
I’ll take 3 at that price. 😉
Everyone keeps talking about whether or not the Canon EOS-M or the OMD-EM5 is a game changer — hello — it’s all about the glass — THIS is the game changer. Mirrorless has always been about one thing and one thing only — compromise between size and IQ. That compromise is skewing further and further in the users’ favor as the IQ gets better and the size stays the same.

That is what makes MFT shine.
So why exactly would anyone want to buy a Kipon adapter and then add a giant EOS lens to their Small MFT body…makes no sense to me and I own lots of EOS glass? That concept defeats the whole point of owning an MFT camera.. I keep my EOS lenses on my Canon FF where they are balanced and function well?
I’s kind of like buying a bazooka adapter for your 9mm, no?
Me too . How could X lens for that price .
Even I don’t use zoom regularly but don’t mind to keep it if the lens is in that unbelieveable price .
The Lumix 12-35 looks like a superb lens but the big question is………..where are the Olympus high quality zooms and telephoto prime to match the EM5?
Heh, I paid about the same to import mine about 3 weeks ago. It is fantastic. If you have the money just buy it – it’s that good.
…so what happened to the 75mm?
Olympus USA has shipped my 75/1.8 and I’ll have it in two days.
Thx. H&B Digital will most likely send mine this week….Enjoy the truly spectacular !
who could be stupid enough to get a m43 lens at that price??
At that price, is it worth it? I own the 25 mm 1.4 which is smack bang in the middle of 12-35. .for such a low zoom distance im prepared to walk!im sure the lensis fantastic, itsjust the price that makes it hard to justify
I think is worth it, every cent 🙂
Tested a few days ago, bought from panacam at Amazon.

Lens is fantastic, very versatile.
Hey! Nice pics…the panny lens with the e-m5 really is a great combo. Beautiful, delicate, yet at the same time detailed rendering. Love it!
Agreed. The 12-35 is like having a pocketful of primes. Its color rendition, contrast, and sharpness are outstanding. Its only shortcoming versus the 25/1.4 is obviously the maximum aperture.
I am working on posting a Flickr gallery of classic cars I just shot with this lens on a GH2. I fear my modest photographic ability will not really do this lens justice.
What happened to 75mm ?
It appear to me a very remarkable lens .
Love the pictures .
The 12-35mm is tempting but it would be even greater if it is in F2.0 .
I ordered. I hope my wife doesn’t find out about this one 😉
A big fail… FF has 24-70 f2.8, M43 needed 12-35 f2.0 at least.
Too expensive for a shit f-stop at this price.
