My Olympus: Olympus E3+12-60mm

Location: Kinabalu Park, Kundasang Sabah

Olympus Zuiko ZD ED 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0 SWD

It covers wide to moderate tele and also not forgetting macro capable. So far, I'm very satisfied with this lens for its Super Grade, dust and weather resistant. Sunrise through the Zuiko Digital ED 12-60mm f/2.8-4.0 over the mountain of Kundasang, Ranau Sabah, Malaysia.
