Pros

The 14-42 is a good lens that works well with the panasonic m43 cameras. Makes the cam/lense set-up more portable, even coat pocketable! The size means the gh2 looks like an unobtrusive compact. Used with an olympus epl5 with great results.

Quality


I am using it with my lumix g3 and the picture quality is out of this world.


The quality of the images is great though, and the size means the gh2 looks like an unobtrusive compact.


This quality lens has no image stabilisation (but hardly needs it).


Build quality is good, a metal mount with plastic outer casing, comes with front and rear lens caps, case but no lens hood.

Competitiveness


Neat, unobtrusive, very effectively paired with panasonic's lumix gf-2.


Bought this for my wife's olympus e-pl1.

    When shooting video af noises can be heard so i recommend turning off countinuous af on your camera and to use af before recording
