Re: 14-42 II or 14-42 II, which is better

Good stuff here! I really liked the Panasonic 14-42 II the first time I touched it. It has a nice feel to it with a little heft yet very light. The zoom action is very smooth with just the right amount of resistance. The size is just right for both my cameras. I use it with my Olympus EPM2 and my Panasonic G5. I love the fact that it doesn't extend but very little when zoomed.

The fact that AdamT gives the optics good marks cemented the deal for me. I love this lens!

Anyone else like this lens?
