I did own 14-54/2.8-3.5 & 14-42/3.5-5.6 for Fourthird system. As my memory,
the picture quality of both lens are OK but not impressive very much. Today
I own OM-D & its kit lens 12-50 only and they are very good combination,
weight, size & functions. The performance of the lens is over my
expectation, both picture quality & functions. It's worth to own one.
Besides, the high ISO performance & AWB of OM-D is excellent. I'd say
better than any one of Fourthird & Micro Fourthird cameras, even better
than my ex-D5000.
A picture was shot yesterday in a Chinese restaurant with in-door warm
lighting, ISO1600 & AWB. I satisfied the performance.
