m.ZUIKO ON POCKET CAMERA

I have heard the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12mm f/2.0 is a good choice for the pocket cam.
i have a cheap offer for the Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 12-50mm 1:3.5-6.3 EZ
would that be working aswell on the pocket cam . AF and IS working ? cheers , eugen

There is no IS on the lens I believe, which would arguably make another lens with an onboard IS switch more useful.

hi somebody just told me the IS would work though ... how could i find out if that really is the case ?
cant try it out since my camera is coming in the mail only in 2 weeks . thanks for the hint. cheers, eugen

The lens doesn't have IS, and no Olympus lens has. Olympus uses in-body stabilization in all its Micro Four Thirds cameras.

thanks for the info ... ist there a list of "lenses with IS" for the pocket ?

Well, very simple: the only existing Micro Four Thirds IS lenses at this moment are Panasonic Zooms with physical O.I.S. switches on the lens body (such as the old 14-45mm, the 14-140mm and the 12-35mm).

Here's a list of nearly all µFT lenses.

In German, though. But I think you can read the data anyway.

As you can see there, there is the 45 mm and 42,5 mm panaleica. And the Tamron 14-150.
