What is the 35mm equivalent focal length for the 14-42mm lens?

Use a multiplier of 2 for micro 4/3 cameras. This lens would be a 28mm-84mm (35mm equivalent)

It depends on what you need it for. The 14-45 lens is one of the sharpest I own. It is a great walk around lens since it's focal range is very versatile. I also have the 45-150 which I use for when I need the extended range. If you're looking to get a lens to take shots of different things in different situations, get the 14-45. Take note that the 14-42 is a different lens. Not as Sharp as this one is.

I use the Lumix 14-140 f/3.5-5.6 for exactly that purpose. It covers a broad range of focal lengths, has reasonably close focus and is reasonably sharp -- much sharper than the 14-45 or 45-150 "kit" lenses I bought with my old G5.

Kit lens is 14-42mm or 12-50mm. You can also but camera alone and get any lens you want. I bought mine last year with the 12-50mm and have been very happy with that lens. Any way, you won't be sorry. Great camera!

Thank you for contacting us. As per the manufacturer, the focal length is 24-105mm. Please feel free to call us at 1-800-991-3350 if you have any further questions!

No; it is a fixed focal length lens. It is the equivalent of the "ideal" normal lens on a 35mm camera.

Yes, absolutely. I have the EM-5 and, from what I know, it has the same size body as the EM-10. The 14-42 is a shorter/smaller lens so the fit may not be as snug as with the 12-50 kit lens, but it'll certainly fit. My 17mm f2.8 stays on my camera most of the time with the case on and it's a fine fit.

Depends on if you have a full frame camera, or one with a cropped sensor. A 24mm is really wide on a full frame. With a cropped sensor, a 24mm is really close to what a 35mm gives you.

You multiply the focal length of the lens by 1.6 to get the 35mm equivalent for this size sensor

Since your camera's sensor is smaller than the 35mm film standard, you use a crop factor (multiply) of 1.5 to calculate your lens' equivalent. In other words, a 28 mm lens on your K-5iis would have the same effect as a 42mm lens with a film camera.

I've had both. They both have the same light gathering abilities, but the version II is smaller and is a bit better optically the the original 14-42, although I think you'd be hard pressed to see the difference in most situations. The version II is a smoother lens, mechanically.

If you mean in 35mm terms, then it would be like a 90 mm to 350 mm given that the sensor format is half the size of 35 mm. If you mean zoom factor, then it would be 175mm/25mm = 7X since the normal lens for this format would be 25 mm. 7X zoom doesn't sound like much in this day of mega-zoom point-and-shoots, but because of the resolution available, even under low light with the ISO bumped up, you can crop quite aggressively and still have a very nice image. I shot birds in deep shade the Amazon at ISO 6400, cropped, and you would never guess it.

This is for a Sony camera with APS-C size senor ... ie NEX Series and others. The crop factor is 1.5. Therefore, while it is 35mm in focal length, the view through the lens is equivalent to 52.5mm (35 x 1.5 = 52.5) lens of a full frame DSLR.

The 14-42 covers 28mm to 84mm.The 17mm covers 34mm.Lower the number the wider of the shot. The advantages are it's smaller and has a faster aperture. Which means a shallower depth of field and it's better in low light. You can't zoom with the 17mm as it's a prime lens. The two lenses compliment each other, not replace each other. Each serve a different purpose.

35mm is the film format this camera accepts. 50mm is the focal length of the lens.

You will get more coverage with the 14. I have the lens and I am very impressed with image qulity and the minimal distortion from such a wide lens...its still not cheap but is a great lens.

Assuming you are referring to the equivalent when used on a DX body, and that you want to use this lens on a DX body, such as the D7000, the crop factor is actually 1.5. So that means 14x1.5= 21. Thus when compared to a 35mm (FX) sensor this lens works similarly to a 21mm lens.
