As title say... trying to decide for a first lens on my GX7...

Hi,

I would never describe the Panasonic 14-45mm zoom as cheap, it's an inexpensive well made lens with very good glass. I have the original version that came with Panasonics G1 and I would not hesitate to recommend Panasonic 14-45mm zoom!

You should also consider the Panasonic 45-150mm zoom. It's almost as good as the 14-45mm zoom! I picked up a copy from B&H a few months ago for $119! The two lenses are about the same size & weight and both use 52mm filters.

Good luck...
