This is not the sharpest lens. If you want a very sharp lens without spending a lot of money, get the 14-45. But this lens will match well with cameras that are smaller and lighter. The zoom action is also much smoother than the 14-45. If you shoot video, this is a better lens.
I ordered this through Amazon from Japan. Paid extra for so called expedited shipping but had to wait almost as many days as regular shipping. That's the only part of the purchase that I am unhappy about.
It does exactly what is says it does. And a slightly "sticky" zoom is expected at this price point. So i won't knock any stars for that.
I will say that I HATE HATE HATE non-fixed aperture lenses, so I sold this on ebay and bought the waaayyy more expensive 12-35mm.
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2014
On a side note it is important to remember when using a m4/3 lens that the zoom that you are accustomed to with a normal 35mm camera is halved with a m4/3. In other words, 14mm on this lens is the equivalent of 28mm on a full size DSLR. So the 14-42mm of this lens is essentially a 28-84mm lens.

体積としては同じマイクロフォーサーズのオリンパスのパンケーキ標準ズームレンズの方が小さく纏まるので迷いましたが本体とレンズのメーカーは合わせないと一部機能が制限される場合もあるのでこちらを選択しました。
手振れ補正はG9本体の物が優秀すぎてレンズ側単体でどうなのかはちょっと不明ですが、望遠端での歩きながらの手持ち動画撮影でもかなり良い感じです。
撮れる絵については素人目では綺麗に撮れているので満足してます。
とりあえずの一本目として良いと思います
ただ単焦点レンズと比べるとF値が暗めなのでそこは注意が必要かなと
