Good product, not disappointed.

Small, light,commpact and. awkward to switch. I bought it on Ebee, it’s cheaper than ours, they explain it by the fact that it’s a whale for Panas, and there are a lot of them in the states, so they dismantle and sell separately. Cheaper than ours, but more expensive than Kita Nikora 18-55. An ordinary whale lens,commpared with Nikon's 18-55 - Panas is better in assembly, but inferior to Nikor in resolution, distortion. These shortcomings when shooting in RAW arecomrrected in JPEG automatically in-camera.
M37 filter thread - the front lens does not rotate, but filters of this diameter are very rare.
It is better to shoot at a fully open aperture - the sharpest, which is typical for most lenses of the M4 / 3 system that I know. Stabilizer when used on Olympus OM-D E-M10 is not needed. The lid is small, dropped, and there is nothing to hook on.

Pros

Includes 2 covers. The small folding pancake is one of the main reasons to buy. Sharp from an open aperture. There is a stabilizer - they write 3 stops. Resistant to rabbits. Autofocus is fast, accurate and silent.

Cons

To turn it on, you need to turn it from the transport position to the working time - and this is the time. There is no manual focusing, and in general, due to its smallness, it is inconvenient to use - it is difficult to remove or put it on, not to grab it. The lens hood is not provided in principle - there is nowhere to attach it. Chromatite is noticeable at the short end with a fully open hole. When shooting in RAW: very noticeable vignetting from F. R. 12 and a fully open aperture, gradually decreases as the hole is covered and the FR increases, but does not disappear completely; distortion: 12-very strong barrel20222222mm-heavy barrel; 20-25mm-weak barrel-shaped; 32mm is a minor cushion. Non-switchable stabilizer.
