As SamKnopf says, this 46mm filter 14-42 lens is pretty good, much better than Panasonic's original 52mm 14-42 lens, which was a bit of a dog.

In fact, when I got the Mk II lens in a kit and compared it against my 14-45mm lens (about which many rave), I preferred the 14-42 and sold the 14-45.  IQ is comparable, and the new 14-42 is smoother to operate and the lens barrel barely extends at all when zooming.

If you got your existing 14-42 with your GF1, it is almost certainly the 52mm filter lens, so that is the one you would sell if you want to sell one.  But you probably wouldn't get much if anything for that, so it might be better to hang on to it and sell it with the GF1 if you ever want to sell that camera.

I had a GF1 and liked it, but the GX7, which I still own, is so much better in so many ways.
