Value for Money

This Panasonic X lens is unique, being a pancake zoom, so it is hard to pin down value for money. It costs about twice as much its bulkier (relatively) Panasonic kit lens stable-mate and about 30% more than its less compact but still small Olympus 14-42mm rival. Thus it is not cheap, especially since it offers little or nothing more optically than its competitors. For the extra money, though, it offers a solid feel and look in spite of its light weight.
