Just found a cheap Panasonic GX7 with a silver kit lens that could be this: Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 II ASPH Mega OIS

[...] It's also small. It is in fact the smallest of all the 14-4x kit zooms.

Interesting, but I have seen one 14-4x kit lens nearly as small as the 12-32? This was larger. Well anyway, the camera is cheap...

Ah, you're right of course. I forgot to mention I meant non-power zooms. Both Panasonic and Olympus make smaller pancake 14-42 power zooms (I bet that's what you saw). I actually have the Panasonic 14-42 PZ myself. Interestingly, in terms of image quality, it's pretty much the same as 14-42 II as far as I can tell. Maybe with a bit less purple fringing on the PZ one.
