The build quality is remarkably high for such an affordable kit zoom lens. Autofocusing is fast and almost silent, which means little or no interference on movie soundtracks. And the price of the lens won't break the bank.Claimed as the most compact 'panc...
Bottom line The M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 III EZ represents a significant upgrade to Olympus's basic kit lens and has the advantage of being quite a bit shorter and lighter than its predecessors. This makes cameras more easily portable – and even pocketabl...

The Olympus Digital M.Zuiko 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 ED is currently offered as a "kit" lens combined with Olympus E-P1. The focal length range is equivalent to about 28-84mm in full format (35mm) terms. The Micro Zuiko matches the "retro" design of E-P1 - u...

Since Olympus digital SLR cameras employ the four-thirds imaging sensor, any lens attached to the body will have an effective focal length (in 35mm terms) of double the listed length. Thus, for this particular lens, it will exhibit an effective focal leng...
Bottom line Probably the most question for the users of this lens will be whether it's worth the upgrade to the 14-54mm ƒ/2.8-3.5. The 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 stands well on its own, where shots taken in generally favorable conditions will come out well. In low-light condi...

Bottom line The Olympus 14-42mm ƒ/3.5-5.6 EZ ED M.Zuiko Digital lens is a well-executed lens. It achieves what appears to be a goal for the smallest size possible, as well as adding in new functions (power zoom) and improving on its optical properties as well.Product...
