♦ 2) Vivitar 72mm UV Glass Filter
♦ 3) Cap Keeper 2 Lens Cap Strap

The Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0 SWD lens is a high-performance standard zoom lens that covers a zoom range equivalent to 24 to 120mm on a 35mm camera lens. Special optical glass elements are used to correct various types of aberrations, while the 100 percent digital design ensures high-definition performance with clear, crisp images from edge to edge. This lens also boasts impressive close-up shooting capability, allowing users to shoot from as close as 25cm throughout the zoom range. The lens' autofocus is powered by Olympus' breakthrough Supersonic Wave Drive Technology (SWD). Designed to be the world's fastest AF system, this extraordinary autofocus drive provides both high speed and high precision while operating with lower noise than ever. Optimized for use with the E-3 Digital SLR, this lens enables the camera to demonstrate the full power of its high-speed capability, providing the fastest autofocus available in the world using a standard zoom lens.

This Vivitar UV Filter is a fine-weather filter that is designed to optimize your photography experience. UV filters block out unwanted ultraviolet light and prevents the UV "fogging/haze" effect". Protect your lens from scratches and dust.

Keep your lens cap securely attached to your lens with the convenient, simple-to-use CapKeeper. Never lose a lens cap again!

This 6-piece cleaning kit contains everything you'll ever need to properly clean your lenses, including a Hurricane Air Blower, Lens Cleaning Tissues, Lens Cloth, Lens Cleaning Liquid, Brush and Cotton Swabs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review of the Olympus 12-60mm, 2.8-4.0 lens, August 20, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Olympus 12-60mm Zuiko Digital ED f/2.8-4.0 SWD Lens Kit for E-Series Digital SLR Cameras (Electronics)
This is a spectacular lens on all levels. The SWD (supersonic wave drive) really makes a noticeable difference when one is photographing moving objects. I did such recently at last weeks Concours d'Elegance of Pebble Beach photographing from the passenger seat of the 3rd place winner of the C-2 division, my twin brother's '41 Thunderbolt. Shutter speed was set at 1/800 sec ASA 400 and the lens and camera does the rest. Also set the focus to a single central square. I did not loose a single picture (out of 260) because of time lapse or out of focus pic. A number of pictures were made of the people who were walking around on the lawn, of dogs, children, other artifacts-such as hood ornaments up close and a Coleoptra resting on the car-and of course of the cars! The speed of the focusing was a tremendous help; using the wide angle setting gave great perspective control and the color correction at all F-stops was spot on. The large zooming range and lower weight made a difference on the hands and shoulders by the end of the day! Overall, my favorite lens now! Pics are on my Facebook page and will be placed on flickr later for all to view.

5.0 out of 5 stars Olympus 12~60 lens, only one problem!, March 25, 2009

This review is from: Olympus 12-60mm Zuiko Digital ED f/2.8-4.0 SWD Lens Kit for E-Series Digital SLR Cameras (Electronics)
I have had this lens for 3 1/2 months and the only problem I have it is that it's so good that I seldom want to switch to any of my other lenses! My 14~54 lens is now relegated to a "back-up" role. I also appreciate the new "pinch" lens cap design because it is much easier to remove and replace the cap without removing the lens hood.

It is however a large piece of equipment so I would not recommend it for someone who is looking for the compact lens/camera combination possible with the E-4xx or E-5xx models.

I use mine with either an E-3 or an E-1 which means I normally have a battery grip to help balance the handling of the camera. Most of my recent photos have been made with this lens and some can be viewed at my Flickr page.
