Replacing the 14-45mm, the new lens is slightly lighter and simpler to use, while incorporating Panasonic's continuously variable aperture technology for use in movie recording. We didn't have a chance to test the lens with the Panasonic G2, but we did manage to get it into the lab with the G3; click here to read our review of the Panasonic 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH MEGA O.I.S.
