Panasonic Lumix 14-45mm lens

The Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-45mm f/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.

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 lens received good reviews compared to typical kit zooms offered by manufacturers,[1][2][3] and particularly compared to the cheaper Panasonic 14-42mm.
