Bingo! Your link cleared things up for me as to the cosmetic differences and it is easy to describe via one clear difference. The red *mega O.I.S.* is printed on the shutter side (left) on the old 14-42 and it is on the lens release side (right) on the model II as you look at the front of the lens.

Thx so much for answering my query.

Regards, Jim

I know this must have been asked/discussed in the past, but I only just rec'd my GX7 a few weeks ago and now I am paying more particular attention to the m4/3 topics than before.

How can I identify the external (cosmetic) differences between the various 14-42 lenses? Do you have pix that show the differences/

The best option is the http://www.four-thirds.org/en/special/matching.html website.

Open the site in a couple of separate tabs, pick the same body in each but then select different lenses. This will both show you what they look like but also how they compare in size.
