That's the (IMHO) best of the 14-42/45 kit lenses from both manufacturers. Small, smooth (for m4/3 lenses), and good IQ. DFD, decently quick AF. Some flare.
It probably has a plastic mount, which I prefer for these small lenses anyway; I guess that depends on whether you change your lenses often (I do) and whether you want to wear out your body lens mount or the mount on some cheap kit lens.

Good to hear that. So plastic is better for the camera (lens mount) and metal better for the lens? I would not change this lens often.
Plastic is fine, metal is overrated for kit lenses and small primes.
Mostly the 20 and Sigma 60. May get a 12-32 for $80, but a litle scratch on the lens...
Beware, the 12-32 is remarkably cheap new in any case; and dekitted ones on ebay might not be too expensive if you are patient. I would not risk a scratched one, not necessarily because of the optical issues from the scratch, but because the lens may have been mishandled in other ways - they are quite flimsy.
OK. I may find it here too, if I wait. Walking in town I often use only the 20 mm, and does not miss the zoom that often.

The Fujifilm X-T5 is the company's latest classically-styled APS-C mirrorless camera. It gains the 40MP sensor and AF system from the X-H2 but in a body with a more stills-focused slant. We've been putting it through its paces.
We're Noct messing around with this review.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom impress in a lot of ways, but their noise reduction lags the competition and their lens corrections lack a real-world basis. DxO PureRAW 3 aims to come to their rescue without totally reinventing your workflow!
The Sony ZV-E1 is the company's latest vlogging-focused camera: a full-frame mirrorless camera based the FX3/a7S III sensor, aimed at YouTubers and 'creators' looking to go pro.
The Sony ZV-E1 is a full frame camera targeting YouTubers. Chris and Jordan are Youtubers, what do they think?
