I had been shooting E 600 with kit 14-42 and 42-150. I got excellent shots with these kit lenses, shots that rivaled anything which came from Nikon. I swear by Zuiko glass. The clarity and everything else from my E 600 and the two kit lenses was absolutely perfect. Why the upgrade? I wanted weatherproof equipment and also some prime glass. I still use the E 600 as well as my old OM1. Since 1985, I have shot only Olympus. I have tried the other brands, but always went back to Olympus.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895583604295619178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-7287077064670414132016-01-05T08:01:32.754+08:002016-01-05T08:01:32.754+08:00Hi Robin nice blog, can you tell me what you'v...Hi Robin nice blog, can you tell me what you've used to take the first two photos?freestuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06095021686588932434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-61356522898971703772016-01-01T19:34:13.003+08:002016-01-01T19:34:13.003+08:00Your post always inspire meYour post always inspire meFanggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13068651578321686227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-65704965228634530522015-12-21T21:30:32.772+08:002015-12-21T21:30:32.772+08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411144349311665162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-13060239399174576782015-12-21T21:30:25.963+08:002015-12-21T21:30:25.963+08:00Dear Robin, I've just purchased my E-M10 with ...Dear Robin, I've just purchased my E-M10 with the 14-42 EZ kit lens; I totally agree with your comments above, here is a shot I recently take with the 14-42 EZ: http://img2.juzaphoto.com/001/shared_files/uploads/1605265.jpg<br />As a landscape hobby "photographer" I'm enthusiast with the 14-42 EZ, I think I would replace this lens just for longer focal length of for a faster prime lens.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411144349311665162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-28933028636622976632015-10-15T12:10:27.266+08:002015-10-15T12:10:27.266+08:00Hi Robin, nice sharp images.

I use the Pana PZ kit lens often, and on my older sony 3C I also use the pancake kit lens. However, I hate using the older Oly m4/3s kit lens (I have two, which came with the cameras) and one for the Nikon V1. The take nice images, but are extendable, meaning you have to push a button to manually extend (and close) the lenses. Since I like to often turn the cameras on and off (to save battery power when doing your patented Shutter Therapy) this 'feature of manually extendable lenses' drives both my wife and I crazy!

All Oly MILC, which have TruePic VII processor, the CA (from Pana 12-32) will be corrected. For older Oly MILC the Oly 14-42 is better. If you need manual focus, then only with Oly 14-42 you can use it, Pana 12-32 you cannot manual focus. <br /><br />For quick shooting without having time to go near or far from subject, zoom-lens is the best choice. And both "Pancake" Zoom-lens are great indeed, lightweight and bags fix!!!! <br /><br />And, let us not forget, why the kit lens were designed!? Otherwise, there would be only prime lenses.
