>>3592297They're all kit lenses with various problems. One normal (not pancake) Panasonic 14-42 has the reputation of being one of the better kit lens on m43 bodies, but that's as much as I know about it. There's shit ton of versions in that range. Some 12-32mm's, even some Chinese clone called Meitu.
I still own 40-150mm olympus, so I can talk a little about that one. It's outdoors or tripod lens only, being f4-f5.6, and even there often needs to be closed to f8 for corner sharpness. 45-200 compared to Olympus 40-150 has much better build. Olympus lens has plastic even on the mount itself! It's not weather sealed like Panasonic 45-200, has reach disadvantage, but 40-150 only weighs 190g compared to 45-200's 370g. And it's optics are unheard of for a kit lens:

I got it with a kit body, and I still find myself using it to this day. I've better options for that range, but I'll find myself leaving them home and bringing this one instead. It often stays unused, but finds use when I least expect it.
Be weary, though, It's probably responsible for all the dust on my sensor, lol.
