...14~45 is old, but still one of the best standard kit zoom of M43. Its IQ is highly comparable to 12~35 f/2.8, slightly better than my copy of 12~32 and 14~42 PZ.

And what about Pana 12-42 II? Could you comment?

I would rank the 12-60 (f3.5 to f5.6), the 12-32, and the 14-45 as the best small, slow kit lenses.

I would rank the Pana14-42 II as just slightly behind the top 3.

Then I would rank any other slow kit lens for MFT to be behind the top 4, including all Olympus kit lenses.
