Mich wundert das das das noch keiner hier so richtig gerbacht hat (oder ich ahb es ueberlesen):

The Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH OIS produced quite some head-aches during the testing and it's not all that simple to find a verdict. Technically it gave us quite a roller-coaster ride throughout the different characteristics. The lens has some significant issues at 14mm with a rather extreme degree of barrel distortion as well as hefty vignetting. The resolution figures are generally very fine without any major weakness (for a lens in this class). Lateral chromatic aberrations are a bit on the high side but acceptable regarding the 12 megapixel test scope. However, in the real life most of the flaws are hidden from a user though because in-camera JPGs as well as RAW processed via Silkypix and Adobe ACR/DNG are corrected automatically. This doesn't come for free though because you loose some field-of-view at the wide-end, a bit of edge resolution and the sensor noise gets amplified somewhat in the corners due to the vignetting compensation. However, there're also RAW-converters out there which give you access to the "naked" data (such as RawTherapee).
The build quality of the lens is very decent especially for a kit lens. The AF works basically silent, it's surprisingly fast and highly accurate (also thanks to the G1's contrast AF). The "Mega OIS" (image stabilizer) can give you an extra potential equivalent to 2-3 f-stops in field conditions. All-in-all a dwarfish lens but not a perfect one.

The Panasonic Lumix G Vario 45-200mm f/4-5.6 OIS is a fairly solid performer although it has its weaknesses. The resolution is pretty impressive from 45-150mm but things could be better at 200mm where the border quality suffers quite a bit. Distortions are generally not field relevant throughout the range. The vignetting figures aren't overly impressive at max. aperture but they are also not very different compared to similar APS-C lenses in this class. Lateral chromatic aberrations (color shadows) are not an issue from 45mm to 100mm but they can reach disturbing levels at 150mm and more so at 200mm.
The build quality of the lens is very high. The OIS (image stabilizer) is pretty efficient in field conditions and it can give you an extra potential equivalent to about 2-3 f-stops. We'd like to see a really deactivated OIS in non-stabilizing mode but, to be honest, most users will not disable the OIS anyway. All in all quite good lens with a sane price tag.
Fuer mich ist mit sowas auf jedenfall m4/3 bis auf weiters gestorben.Am besten finde ich das RAW Bild beim 14-45.einfach mal mit de Maus rueberfahren.....
