Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens

 
Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 MkI

The original version of Olympus' collapsible standard zoom lens for the Micro Four Thirds System costs around £240 on its own, but is often supplied as a kit with Olympus Micro Four Thirds cameras. The collapsible design allows the lens to be made more compact when not being used, making it perfect for stowing in a small bag or camera case.

A newer MkII version is also available, which costs around £230 and is a little lighter and smaller in diameter than the older lens. The newer lens also sports internal focusing and is compatible with a range of accessories via a bayonet attachment around the lens barrel.

Panasonic's 14-45mm lens costs around £230, but lacks the collapsible design of the Olympus optics, although focusing is performed internally, just like on the MkII Olympus lens.
