I have the Panny 14-45, using it on E-PM2, great lens, only problem is that I get banding on high ISO, and only with this lens, I also have PanLeica 25mm, no banding, 14-54, 50mm macro, 50-200, 9mm fisheye BC lens, and had Oly 14-42, no banding whatsoever, but Panny 14-45, bends a lot. On my E-M1, different story, no banding with it.

Hm, interesting observation. When I used my 14-45mm this summer, I didn't notice any banding. I took some high ISO long exposure shots with the 14-45mm but it was very dark, overlooking a dimly lit town. I didn't use high ISO for general low-light use, like indoor photography. Did you notice it with most high ISO shots or just under certain circumstances? And how high of an ISO are we talking about? 3200? 6400? IIRC, I didn't go above 1600

Mostly with ISO 3200 and above, indoor and outdoor. I think it has the same problem as 20mm 1.7
