Lovely bokeh, uber compact/lightweight (but feels high quality), and versatile

It is of exceptional value and quality for it's price!

Pros-Fantastic cost efficiency-Great optical quality; images in focus turn out very sharp and clear-Size; it is pretty small for the focal range-Weight; it isn't heavy-Bokeh; dreamy and beautiful, particularly at

It is superior quality to the "kit lens" fitted to the camera which has that plastic feel with barrel drag

Micro43 has a bright future if they can continue to make such small lenses while improving build quality.

Optical quality is excellent

Super sharp and high quality.

But once its set up and in focus it delivers beautiful quality.

Built quality seems good

Brilliant photo quality, great value for money

good quality lens at this price point ... very useable throughout the full range.

This little lens weighs a few ounces, is very inconspicuous, and provides excellent quality

What's not so typical is the superb image quality, great stabilization, and quality build

The build quality is very good.

Great image quality but my lens hood fell off when hiking through tall weeds

Excellent Amazon delivery & quality!

If one knows how to photograph, this lens with the rest of the Panasonic micro 4/3 system are still first choice for contained size, weight and cost, and good quality

quality- Fast focus stills and movie modes- Very good image stabilization even at full

It has excellent image quality, sharp, fast, nice bokeh etc

I find the whole setup to be well balanced, offering a great quality/price ratio and a ton of fun to use for a full day of shooting

If Panasonic ever makes a 14-140mm f2.5 for $300 I will probably buy it, but until then I'm quite happy with great quality 20mm fixed prime and this 45-200mm budget telephoto.

Amazing optical quality, nice bokeh, fast focusing, fast aperture, light and cheap

Both have excellent image quality.

Love the size and quality and I am sure if the G1 suited your requirements then this lens will too.

The quality is superb and it is a joy to shoot with.

Overall good quality lens and so far my experience has been positive

Not being able to zoom is definitely weird at first but the quality of pictures and the depth of focus are insane for a $150 lens

Quality solid

a necessary lens good quality

The trial pics taken with it in our house are of pretty good quality, though we actually purchased it for outdoors and journeys

This lens exceeds the quality and value of the outstanding Zuiko Digital 4/3 45-150mm kit lens found on Olympus E-xx series kits from about 2-3 years ago.

This lens, in combination with the camera, has given me some of the nicest photos quality-wise that I have taken

The build quality is fine

It is a good quality lens

Produces very good pictures quality and is very light and small

Given the price, the quality of the image is very good, and focusing is amazingly quiet (this is a concern if you are planning to shoot videos)

The best pictures quality I got between f 5.6 to f 8.0 with my Lumix GX85 .The zoom range 45-150 is adequate for me for now

It's very practical, offers great value and great image quality.

Poor photo quality

Disappointing image quality.

Nice build quality; feels sturdy.

However, I do not feel that the pictures taken with it are quite as sharp as I had hoped.

Not near as sharp as I had hoped.

My only real complaint with it is that the photos it takes are not as crisp and amazing as with the other lenses I have

I was not expecting the shots to be as sharp and beautiful as they are... what a pleasant surprise

With a table table tripod (709B for example), this 45/200 mm lens and a GF1 - one easily put together a great, compact kit for shooting excellent video - as well as for taking pretty decent photos.

It is very "plastic-y" and doesn't really inspire the user with confidence.
