Anyone else notice how the kit lenses in M4/3s are improving. I notice most people are keeping the kit lens anymore and using them. Just like the Panasonic 14-42 II and the 12-32, they're actually kind of scarce on the used market.

I think we have been very fortunate with the kit lenses in mFT , most are pretty good especially for "kit" lenses. My first mFT purchase back in 2009 was the GF1 with 20mm F1.7 and the 14-45mm , both lenses are very good performers even nowadays.

I agree that m4/3 kit lenses have been pretty good. The only really mediocre lenses were the original Olympus 14-42mm and the original Panasonic 14-42mm.
