Panasonic 14-50mm f/2.8-3.5 ASPH MEGA OIS LEICA D VARIO-ELMARIT
8 out of 10 points and recommendedrelatively fast aperture (f2.8-3.5), sharp accurate focussingflimsy plastic lens hood and cover, expensive, no weatherproofingA very good lens optically. Sharp, vibrant colors. Mega OIS works as advertised, though I'd rather use the IS on the E-3 because the OIS in the lens only provides 2 stops.

Its plasticky exterior is a little disappointing considering its price tag and the weather proofing offered by Zuiko counterparts. The lens cap and hood comes off very easily, so you might need a UV filter for this lens.
If you've some cash to burn, this lens is priced at USD 900 on B &H / Adorama. So, if you can get a bargain, go for it! This lens will not disappoint.
