This standard zoom lens from Panasonic normally comes bundled as a kit with their Micro Four Thirds system cameras, but if you were looking to replace one or purchase one for an Olympus camera it would cost around £170. It covers a range equivalent to a 28-84mm lens on a 35mm camera and sports internal focusing and Optical Image Stabilisation.

Olympus also offer two 14-42mm lenses. Both their lenses that cover this range have a collapsible design, making them more compact when not being used. The MkI Olympus 14-42mm optic costs around £230 but doesn't focus internally. The newer MkII version also costs around £230 and focuses internally.
