Conclusion

managed to do a full walkabout shoot during the Lockdown "Exercise" walk and that`ll do me just fine for a general lens, the 14-42 will get some bag time .. seems great at all focal length at F5.6 but like all OIS lenses with decent OIS systems that are made down to a size, if you`re sloppy or impatient you`ll get a soft edge from any of the 4 edges especially if zoomed (had a couple but not consistently one edge, its when you catch it when the IS element is at its limit due to a movement ) .. colour is lovely and the lens is the absolute perfect size for the GX8 ..

57mm (well nearly 60mm LOL) Compressed landscape at infinity wideopen at F5.6 .. not in the least dissatisfied
