I think everyone agrees, when looking at MTF charts and brickwall tests the Olympus 12-100 PRO wins everything else and for a good reason.
So it's objectively the best superzoom lens to get.
But what about the subjective matters... Say one enjoys particular imperfections in bokeh, now suddenly the 12-100 Pro might be overly clinical and not one's cup of tea.
Wonder if there's an established consensus about a good enough lens (in terms of distortion, sharpness) that will also exhibit more of an exciting character?
A very remote distant dream would be a lens covering 14-100 mm (or more) with the exact character of P12-32 which must be my favorite zoom lens ever, any system.
People usually go on looking for character lenses in SLR primes or something but I feel like there could very well be a slamdunk of a character lens in a nice compact consumer superzoom lens.
