Pros: Quality photos, phenomenal sharpness at all focal lengths and apertures, easy, convenient, good stabilization. The best microcontrast in the M4/3 system. Despite the maximum aperture of F3.5, the lens is fairly light.

Cons: It is a pity that this high-quality lens is no longer produced. Not very smooth adjustment of the focal length. Catching hares with backlight.

Opinion: Quality photos, phenomenal sharpness at all focal lengths and apertures, easy, convenient, good stabilization. The best microcontrast in the M4/3 system. Despite the maximum aperture of F3.5, the lens is fairly light. Quality at the level of lenses at the price of 400 euros and more. In terms of price/quality ratio, there are no other such ones. In general, in my opinion: owning this lens is a great success for a photographer.

Pros: Very incisive, sharp, good colors, VERY LIGHT, focal to a good spectrum of use.

Cons: Non-smooth zoom

Opinion: I have been using this lens for 6 months exclusively for mountain photos given its 14/45 focal versatility optimal for mountain photos but above all I highlight its lightness and little bulk, mounted on my second body Oly m5II everything weighs 664 gr. Stabilized lens, although I usually use stabilizer in the car. Sharp and incisive at all openings, I dare say from edge to edge, the colors are good in the norm tending to heat, quite soft (but satisfactory) bottom of the field blur calculating its 7 shutter slats (then everyone knows the limits of a 4/3 at this juncture). I can also make good macros having very good minimum distance. It suffers at low lights but you know it starts from 3.5 and so everyone knows the limits of a 3.5 lens. The only flaw is the non-fluid zoom, I only suffer when I make some videos. In general I am satisfied with the purchase with a cost of 150 € I have a lens that satisfies me

Pros: All

Cons: Not Compattissima, not bright, in some specimen the rubber ring loosens slightly

Opinion: I had a specimen, after having sold it I regretted it and I resumed it. It is an exceptional lens, it has practically the same performances as the pros (12-35 and 12-40), sharpness, colours, micro-contrast (very high), constancy at all diaphragms, all focal lengths and both at the center and at the edge, pays the price of brightness. There are experts who argue (just search on some Italian site) that is not a lens in kit (meaning it has an optical perfection not from the battle lens) because it was the Panasonic presentation lens in the M4/3 world. To realize the reasons for such positivity just go and look at the MTFs on DPReview and compare them. In Layman's terms, if you have no need for fixed brightness and pancake compactness It is an indispensable lens.

Pros: Weight, metal attachment, stabilization, sharpness, good contrast, good color, very affordable price of the used, hood and bag included.

Cons: It does not reflect given the cost and non-Pro lens features

Opinion: I share what I said before "IlTexano". I have two micro 4/3 system chambers: the Olympus Pen E-P5 and the Panasonic DMC-G5. Initially I used both of them with the M.Zuiko Digital 14-42 f3.5-5.6, highlighting the limits of this kit optic since the first clik. Not wanting to spend hundreds of eur for a "pro" look and reading good reviews - performance reviews and great value for money on this Lumix G Vario 14-45 f3.5-5.6 as soon as I could sought one on the market of the wearer. I should say that the difference in results is seen in the eye, from the earliest shots and without sophisticated evidence. It is slightly bulky than the Zuiko, but is well proportioned, including the maximum focal length. It is giving me good satisfaction, although for the time being I'm almost exclusively working for the job. It works well even at low shutter speeds, providing unsurpassed results. The coupled Lumix 14-45 with the Pana G5 isexcellent: results in terms of sharpness, chromatic reproduction, balance, and weight. You can bring your neck to paired all day without hearing it. RnTrusted and recommended for those who use the Micro 4/3 without having to faint. Rn

Pros: Price nell'usatornStabilizzatornNitidezzarnPesornDimensionirnAttacco metal

Cons: They withdrew from mercatornLa rubber loosens some

Opinion: If you have a m4 / 3 and are looking for a zoom lens quality at low prices on used, the Panasonic 14-45 will not disappoint. Sharp at any aperture and focal length, fast autofucs both epl-2 on OMD, vibrant colors. I have several lenses for m4 / 3 but almost always end up using this. Really a value for money unbeatable. rnrnCredo has been officially withdrawn because compared to the current basic zoom is much better, surclassandoli in all respects committee is also evident from the numerous tests made by the experts of sharpness around internet.rnrnrn
