Olympus 12-100f4 IS pro. Klaus recommended lens for travel photography, reviewed by Dpreview in OZ
Obviously a paid review without doubting objectivity of reviewers...
Maybe they must offer Klaus and Markus trips like that to review gear ???
Nikon, Fuji are you reading ??

It's definitely not a paid review.
It's simply a field review from one of dpreview's editors (Carey Rose : https://www.dpreview.com/about/staff/carey.rose).
He just likes the lens. Remember it is a "field" review, not a lab test, hence with a good dose of subjectivity (and nothing wrong with that).
At least Olympus paid the trip and offered gear obviously unconditionally, like everyone is doing, it is up to the reviewer to maintain objectivity after all that, they seem to be doing so till now here's Nikon 1 AW1 review where they look quite objective despite being financed by Nikon who even offered them replacement body

It's a pretty awesome lens anyway. :-)

Great lens indeed! I'm using it for travel and hicking and it's just awesome.
I tried to find a lighter lens for hiking, but the versatility and quality of this lens is hard to beat!
