Leica Vario-Elmarit 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0 Review

Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 12-60mm f/2.8-4 Asph Verdict

A standard zoom is a very useful lens and one that offers a high level of performance even more so. The Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 12-60mm f/2.8-4 Asph is a remarkably fine lens and despite the higher price that it demands gives excellent VFM. Definitely this is a very strong contender if looking for a versatile all purpose Micro Four Thirds zoom.
