Panasonic 14-140mm f/4-5.8 ASPH MEGA OIS LUMIX G VARIO HD
10 out of 10 points and recommendedGood Sharp Lens for stills and good especially for VideoHeavy for Micro Four Thirds, largest aperture is F4 so needs a lot of lightLens is Sharp and takes very good stills but needs a lot of light because of the starting aperture at F4.0

Much Better than the kit lens for video because it is silent while focusing. Lens IS helps a lot too especially for the E-PL1 which only has in body IS which doesn't help with video.
Disadvantages are it's a heavy lens and not especially suited for small cameras like GF1 or EP series because of the bulkiness. It balances much better on the GH1.
