Panasonic Lumix 14-45mm lens

The Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-45mm 3.5-5.6 lens is a standard zoom lens for Micro Four Thirds system cameras. It was the kit zoom included with Panasonic's Micro Four Thirds bodies, until replaced in early 2010 by the Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-42mm. The 14-45mm is still available as a separate purchase.

Unlike the 14-42mm, the 14-45mm has a metal mount and hardware OIS switch. The front elements extend upon zooming, but do not rotate, allowing consistent use of polarized filters. The 52mm filter diameter lets a user share common filters with the Panasonic 14-42mm and 45-200mm, but not the 14-140 or 100-300mm.

The lens received good reviews compared to typical kit zooms offered by manufacturers,  and particularly compared to the cheaper Panasonic 14-42mm.
