great for travel and backup
I like this little lens on my EM-5 when I want a very small package for travel as opposed to a point and shoot. Fits into a very slim bag for on and off the plane when you take the lens off. Another good use is for when you have your tele or long prime and want a standard lens just in case that you put in your pocket.

Good lens
This is a good lens when you want to keep the profile of your camera small. It is almost as small when closed as a pancake lens, opening to a powered zoom automatically when you turn the camera on. Closes down automatically too when you turn off the camera; no fiddling or forgetting.

Acceptable
I bought this lens for EM10. It is small and looks good. But after shot one week, I found the optical performance does not satisfy me. Also, while you zoom it, not like regular zoom lens, you always feel it is pulled back by spring, very difficult to hit the position you want.

Nice and small
I bought this lens for its compact size and light weight. It makes my OM-10 into a jacket pocketable camera. Image quality seems to be on a par with the usual kit zoom, so you don't give up anything in making the change to this smaller lens. Highly recommended for traveling.

Great Wide-angle lens
I have used this lens for landscape as well as for instructional images to show lighting set up and panorama images of the mountain vists with great results. The compact size is a plus, as well as the light weight. It fits convienently in my side pocket and goes unnoticed.

Bless B&H for its return policies
This lens and my EM5 II failed to communicate. Image in viewfinder jumped around, then fired off a random, out of focus blur. Similar lens, rented, on an EM10 II worked but was such a tight fit it put the camera or lens at risk changing it. That's two duds out of two.

Compact Versatile Lens
I bought this lens for my mother. But after testing it on my Panasonic GX7 decided to keep it. I do a lot of traveling and this lens is perfect for carrying around with me. Its small enough so that my camera fits in my purse, but has some zoom capability.

Short and sweetx
Like the small size. It is a little different after using the other 12-42 OM lens. Would prefer manual use of focal length.but the small size is great and I am just learning how to use it. Remember, it uses more battery power so stock up on batteries.

Great new addition to Olympus lens line!
This is such a handy lens to have...so fast and quick to take pics. So happy to avoid some of those missed shots. Turn the camera on and you're ready for the shot. Of course, you will need to zoom in and out if desired.

A versatile lightweight
Using on my DJI Inspire, DJI Osmo Pro, Panny GH4, and Panny GX1. A steal at the new Sale price. Very quiet power zoom compared to Lumix equivalent. (Panny won't fit Osmo or Inspire 1). Highly recommended.

Happy with this so far
I started using Olympus 4/3 cameras to save weight and bulk during trips to the rain forest. Happily, this lens brings size and weight down even more. So far, seems to be giving good sharpness and color.

Nice and compact
Use this with my Oly OM-D 10 mkii for a walk around lens. Equv. to 28 - 84 mm lense. Picture quality is good - can be made great with sharpening software. Is slow (f stop) but all in all is very capable

Turn your camera into a compact
This lens is very compact, and quite capable for it?s intended use. It weighs almost nothing and is well built. You will sacrifice some sharpness, but the trade off still makes this lens a good value.

Great lense
It is much thinner than the standard lens, which makes it much easier to carry around. Great quality and reliable I would recommend it for all occasions, not only when you want to travel light.

Good for what it is
I got this lens for a compact travel use. Quick tripod tests show this is not the sharpest lens I own fromOlympus by any means, but more than servicable for vacation snapshots.

Perfect travel lens
Picked this up for compact travel on my OM-D M52. Great sharpness for a pancake lens like this... Would have given 5 star for a manual zoom but getting used to this quickly.

Compact package with EM10
Got this for my EM10 and makes for a quick to use package, especially with the auto lens cap. Makes for such a small package I take it with me almost everywhere I go.

Great Lens
We use these on various cameras to help record videos in the church auditorium. This lens is fast and smooth on the zoom and works great on a camera with auto focus.

not a good lens, but handy
I use this on a GH4 to make it very portable. It lacks stabilization and is not fast, but it makes it possible to have my GH4 with me and not need much space.

Great little lens
Great lens to use for my Oly em5 mkII when I what the lightest load possible. This little lens is much better than some reviewers would have you believe.

Lens is great!!!
I have flown this lense on my Inspire 1 Pro several times. Works great. Easy to focus. Opens up endless possibilities for my business.

Tricky Zoom.
Like that it opens when the camera is turned on. The electric zoom is a bit tricky; difficult to stop zoom exactly where wanted.

Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 EZ Lens
Good zoom standard range. This would equal a 24mm-84mm lens on a 35mm camera. I got it on sale for half of its normal price.

Great for Osmo Pro
I use it with osmo pro and it is the best way to get closer to subject. Everyone who use this DJI tool should have one
