Olympus 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 II?

Gary, after much searching, the AF with the 12-60mm apparently works. I thank you for your input, it was a huge help. I sprung for the 12mm only wish I could compare them both in low light.

Nice, though 12mm F2 Olympus instead perhaps?

Gary, I received the 12mm F/2.0 yesterday, it is a fine lens. I haven't gotten continuous focusing to work, much to my dismay, but that could be an issue with settings, don't know.

It is a great lens, images are the best.

I edited my post above. I was referring to the 12-60 as the 12mm , which was confusing as hell, even to me, and I wrote it!

Nice, can't wait to see how it does. Wanted to use it for glidecam work and have some form of autofocus and low light performance in one. 20mm 1.7, while doable on a glidecam, is prone to luck with the AF, so 12mm should be an instant improvement over the pancake for glidecam

Autofocus is instant, it's so fast I can't believe it. I haven't tried autofocus in dim light, but will soon. Gary, lens was made for glidecam, you'll love it.
