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.

Lumix using olympus lens is quite good even in reduced light, better than when I use panasonic lens. Nice small mobile camera to carry with me instead of my larger nikon.

Very high quality lens. Works perfectly. Nice clear image and picture quality. FAST, quiet and accurate auto focus. 100% compatible with my mirrorless camera.

Not a great performer, but I was aware of that going in. I am a dedicated / invested micro four thirds user and wanted a compact zoom to take along with me when on the bicycle. Focus in not terribly accurate, but it's not altogether bad. Keepers are usually worthwhile, but it will not come close to what you get with either of the two original Lumix pancake lenses (20mm f1.4 or 14mm f2.5). With that said, it shoots decent video and is a pretty easy unit to operate. Size is ideal and it makes a great lens for casual travel and shooting on the go. Have used it on my GF1, GX1, and GH3 and have not seen a huge difference between the various bodies. If you're needing your best, it's a versatile little lens that can come in handy in a variety of different settings. If you're shooting for keeps, stick with one of the good little primes.Read full review
I like the auto focus lens quite a bit. It replaces an Olympus lens that came with a Panasonic G70 I purchased here on eBay. Immediately I noticed a great improvement in image quality and suggest this lens for anyone searching for a replacement or a lens for a camera body purchased here on eBay.

light, easy to focus, and very sharp in middle apertures.
