Given that this is a lens testing site and the folks here have more than average experience comparing lenses(!), I was wondering what people think is the best (optically) of the 5x standard zoom lenses (24-120mm or thereabouts). I'm particularly interested in lenses for the smaller sensors (4/3 and APS-C) as these systems offer small prosumer bodies.

Well, I'm still looking at the options. At this point, I'm mainly wondering which of the lenses (Canon 15-85/3.5-5.6, Nikon 16-85/3.5-5.6, Olympus 12-60/2.8-4.0, Pentax 17-70/4.0, Sigma 17-70/2.8-4.0, Sony 16-80/3.5-4.5) is best suited to the current 16-18MP sensors. The Olympus 12-60 got the best review here, but only the Nikon 16-85 and Canon 15-85 have been tested on higher-resolution bodies.
Thanks,
