Is the yongnuo yn12 35mm f 2 8 4m good for travel?

Yes, mostly. The Yongnuo YN12-35mm f/2.8-4M covers wide to standard, which is the core of a travel kit. On Micro Four Thirds it frames like a 24-70mm on full frame, so it handles streets, food, interiors and most landscapes with one lens.

Two things to plan around. It isn't stabilised, so for dim churches and markets you'll want a body with in-body stabilisation, which the travel guide recommends. It also stops at 35mm equivalent, so it won't reach far for distant subjects. Its aperture narrows as you zoom, so bring a small fast prime for evenings, as the packing list suggests.

Several bodies in the fit list, such as the OM System OM-5 Mark II and the Panasonic Lumix G100, are the kind of compact options that suit travel. Check each body's stabilisation before you buy.
