Better optics and much nicer aesthetically too. Half the size and weight of the std 14 to 42mm. Fast focus aquisition on subject If you are sensible and care for your camera properly, I TOTALLY advise you to fit a UV or Skylight filter on the 37mm front thread. It will keep your costly lens elements clean and safe. The finest such filter that 50 yrs as a photographist has shown me is the JJC A+ MULTI COATED BOTH SIDES, SLIMLINE SILVER 37MM UV. 99.5% TRANSMISSION OF LIGHT. THIS IS A MEGA GOOD FILTER FOR THIS LENS. SO GOOD IN FACT...THAT AS I HELD THE FILTER IN MY HAND...I COULD NOT ACTUALLY SEE THE GLASS...I HAD TO TOUCH IT TO SEE IF IT WAS ACTUALLY THERE!!!!!!! Even though its silver and my G3 is black...it looks just fine. Like it should be there. Easier to take my G3 on trips with family, now just requiring a small gadget bagRead full review

The focal lengths of this lens and it's small size makes it an ideal combination with Panasonic and Olympus Micro four thirds (MFT) cameras. It is fast and easy to focus. Due to the 2x factor (24-64mm in old money) it covers from wide-angle to just under portrait range. Good value for point and shoot pictures. For more advanced purposes, fixed focal lenses are to be recommended.

This is ultra-lightweight and small standard focal length lens. It covers 12-32mm / 24-64mm (35mm camera equiv.) and is the perfect one to take with you, when you just want to walk light and think of photographing various type of pictures – all from landscapes and architecture to some portrait shots. It is equipped with Panasonic own created MEGA OIS image stabilisation – a great feature to have in every zoom lens. You can mount this lens on your loved Panasonic Lumix G series camera or just any other Micro Four Thirds M4/3 systems such as Olympus. Example compatible models: Panasonic G2, 3, 4, 5, GX7, many more. Olympus OM-D E series and PEN series cameras.

Had a 14mm but needed a slightly wider angle so the 12mm really did the trick - for holding the camera at arm's length for blogging. Great short and compact lens. Remember the front facing part is not 52mm but a smaller diameter so smaller UV filters will be needed but I am very pleased with it. Even the zoom ring is very smooth too.

Its a really usefull lens to have on the camera for those 'quick snap' situations. There are better lens but this one is small enough to allow my GH5 to fit in a shoulder bag.
