So I lost my GX1 two years ago, bought a cheap bridge camera, broke it, bought a Fuji X100, decided the flaws outweighed the strengths, sold it, upgraded my youngest daughter's saxophone, and now I'm cobbling together money for a used Panasonic GX7 body. As part of that process, I'm looking for cheap decent lenses.

One thing I've noticed is that on Ebay you can often find someone selling an older M4/3 body, something with a 12mp sensor, along with a decent kit lens, and if you end up reselling the body you get the kit lens for about 30 percent less than buying it standalone on Ebay.

So my question is, which M4/3 kit lenses are a real value? What should I keep my eye out for?

I see them here all the time brand new  for as low as $250 cdn from people who buy the GH85/GH5 kits and then sell the lens to recoup some $$$
