I sold my 14-45 after I got the Panasonic 14-42 v.II, because I concluded the IQ was very close, and I preferred the smaller size and weight of the latter, plus its very short extension when zooming, plus its 46mm filter size.

The 14-42 v.II that comes with a camera body as a kit lens does have a plastic mount, while the version that sells separately and the 14-45 both have metal mounts. And the 14-45 has the switch on the lens barrel for OIS.
