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.

Interestingly, in my experience, Pana 12-60mm was unimpressive at all, definitely worse than 12-32mm. At the same time, both copies of 12-32 I had were equally satisfying. Probably, I got a bad copy of 12-60mm.
