Olympus 12-40mm f/2.8 Len
That really expensive stuff people can't afford.
I recently purchased the Olympus M.ZUIKO Digital 12-40,, f/2.8 Pro Lens. It is a weather-sealed professional standard zoom lens for the micro four thirds system. It offers a 35mm equivalent focal range of 24-80mm.
It's max aperture is at a fast 2.8 throughout it's zoom.
The darn thing was like seven bills!
It has a customizable L-Fn button to suspend autofocus during recording when something gets in the way. The lens itself doesn't have image stabilization and is relying on the camera body itself to do that. Olympus cameras have that function, but Panasonic's line of cameras (except the GX7) don't. So Panasonic owners might want to consider grabbing a different lens.
Focal Range
The lens has a versatile focal range. At the 12mm end, the diagonal angle of view is 84°, i.e. the same as that of a 24mm lens in a 35mm system.
Field of view at 12mm
At the 40mm end, the angle of view is 30°, i.e. the same as that of an 80mm lens in a 35mm system.
Overall, this Lens is awesome. I've only used cheap lens before this and I did not like them. But now most of my shots look cleaner and beautiful. This is honestly the lens I wanted the most other than the Sigma 12-35mm f/1.8 with a metabones speedbooster.
