But if the lens in the image is indeed the 14-42. I must say, it looks remarkably like some voigtlander lenses. Like this 35/1.2 Asph.

I just hope a higher spec normal zoom will not be too far away. Yes, as much as I want a faster zoom, I think it’s a wise move to go for a maximally compact zoom first.

The former is bad for the Micro format, the latter is bad for a kit lens. I wish they put some effort in making faster primes in the 12-70 range, though, like the Lumix 20/1.7. And compact ultrawide primes (which may have to be slower). A faster zoom would obviously be longer and more expensive. The former is bad for the Micro format, the latter is bad for a kit lens.
