Panasonic 14-45mm review by SLRGear

It may be an unassuming lens, but it has a record. It is the first Micro Four Thirds lens and the first one to get reviewed! We are talking of course about the Panasonic 14-45mm f3.5-5.6 Lumix G, which came out as the kit lens with the historic first M43rds digital camera, the Panasonic G1.

So with all that as a long winded preface, we present to you, the review of the Lumix G 14-45mm at SLR Gear. The lens was for the longest time available only as part of the kit, but as of September 2009, the lens is also available for pre-order on its own for $350.
