The M.Zuiko Digital ED 14–42mm F3.5–5.6 EZ is the world's thinnest pancake zoom lens. It delivers razor-sharp image quality all the way to the edges. Flexibility is enhanced by the 3x optical zoom with a wide focal length range. When using OI.Share, you can even zoom in or out remotely with the electronic zoom. The unusually fast and quiet autofocus is perfect for subtle photo and video captures.

The small zoom is not a technical miracle, but due to its low weight and good performance, it is also well positioned at open aperture. When stopped down, the corners are clearly enhanced, although the centre of the image is not sharper. In terms of price, however, the model is still competitive.
