I use this lens as an af zoom lens on my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera. I cannot tell it a high-quality lens, but it is quite cheap, it is easy-to-use, especially for taking video, and it has a convenient focal lengts for work with BMPCC which has a MFT sensor. It is quite durable, and its image has a sufficient sharpness, but the color gamut is no so fine. Generally, I can say, it is a quite good af lens which can be used as kit lens for BMPCC or for Lumix Mirrorless cameras. But its factory price is too elevated.

You can get a used one for around $100. I wouldn't pay more. The 3.5 f stop isn't very good for low light. And zoom is very sticky. Impossible to keep camera from shaking when you use the zoom.

I bought this lens to use with a panasonic GX-7 camera which I love but was a bit tapped out for a more expensive lens at the time. The picture quality is good, probably great for the price. Useful zoom range and seems to be fairly well made. The in lens stabilization works well especially in lower light/ slower shutter speed situations. There are more compact zooms available and there are higher quality lenses with wider aperture but for the price it is hard to beat this lens.
This little lens has a big ego and deservedly so. It is nice to have a camera I can put in my pocket and this lens on the Panasonic gf5 lets that happen. The power zoom lets me zoom smoothly while taking video a big plus if you are taking it to youtube. Lends that professional level to it.

This covers the equivalent of 24 to 120mm focal lengths for 35mm cameras. That covers most situations for most users; perfect for a walkaround camera. Except at the very long end of it's range, it produces very sharp, contrasty images. It also has decent capability in the macro range. It doesn't have the largest maximum apertures, but there aren't any zooms that I know about that are more than one-half of an f-stop faster. It's the most used (by far) of the four lenses I carry with me for travel and for family photos.
