Value For Money

Currently, this lens is available for around £800, which seems pretty good value for a lens of this quality, especially when the price of Panasonic's 12-35mm f/2.8 is taken into account. Despite having a shorter zoom range it currently costs £30 more. This is probably due to it including optical stabilisation, which isn't much of a selling point if your camera body includes stabilisation itself.
