Value For Money
Priced at £300 at launch, this lens represents pretty good value for money, especially when the excellent performance and diminutive size are taken into account.The closest equivalent available is Panasonic's motorised 14-42mm X lens, which sports a powered zoom mechanism and collapsible design, although it is noticeably larger and heavier than this lens. Still, the price of this lens has dropped to around £265.
