Panasonic's better-than-kit lens Micro 4/3Panasonic's new 12-60mm f3.5-5.6 sounds like a great compromise: with its 24-120mm range it covers most of the territory you need for everyday shooting, and at $500 it's priced well as a slightly better alternative to a kit lens. It incorporates all the features you'd want for general-purpose use: a stepper motor for quiet focus during video shooting; Panasonic's hybrid OIS, which works in conjunction with the sensor-shift stabilization in the company's most recent cameras or as optical alone with the older models; and splash-and-dustproof construction. The seven-blade aperture won't deliver the smoothest out-of-focus areas, but it's typical for this class of lens. It's slated to ship in May. Sidd "Life moves pretty fast.
