It's really not a bad lens, not bad at all, and it's only $300 when bought with the EM5.

AF's as fast as a thief, quite good at 12mm, and weathersealed. It's a bit soft at 50mm, but keep it under 45 and you'll love what you see.

Can't say enough good things about the PL25. Portrait lens extraordinare, gorgeous bokeh.

Another lens that's ultra sharp, ultra fast focusing, and priced right is the 45 1.8

Be aware that some of the Panasonic lenses (not the PL25 which is a Leica design) can exhibit a bit of CA on an Oly body. Panasonic bodies correct the CA in the camera, Olympus bodies do not. Not a major problem, just shoot raw and LR zaps the CA, but if you're a jpeg/minimal PP type, you might have an issue.

Does the 14-45 still work decently on the Om-D? Maybe I can correct CA and distortion in LR.
