Hello,

Last Fall, I got E-P5 as a travel camera and purchased, specifically for travel, 14-42 EZ lens. Going in, I was somewhat reluctant about the quality, but compactness and practicality of the pancake pushed me in this direction.

Since then, having a compact lens and camera kit helped me get a number of shots that DSLR would have been to bulky to cary for, and image quality was definitely above what I expected. Few shots from a recent trip attached - the only post processing is a bit of noise removal (I tossed the original JPEGs camera produced).

Definitely would recommend these lens, good value for the money and they make for a very small camera kit, pocketable with EP-5.

Hope this helps,

Toni

Thank you for the reply and for the samples.
