Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 Zoom Lens

Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS Verdict

Overall this lens puts in an excellent all-round performance producing sharp, contrasty images. Priced at £230, it is pretty good value as well.

Many look to this lens as a better quality alternative to the current 14-42mm lens and although it does turn in better sharpness across the frame, and lower distortion, the difference isn't massive. As the other lens is much cheaper when bought as a kit with the camera, that makes the decision between them much harder to make.

	The Panasonic 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 lens offers excellent performance at a very good price.
