Having bypassed almost all hot deals on Black Friday, I ended up going on a spending spree for Cyber Monday/After holiday sales deals. I was trolling the FM buy/sell forums and came across a deal so hot, I couldn’t pass it up. A barely used pair of Lumix Vario X PZ 14-42mm and 45-175mm lenses for $200 each. Both lenses sell for almost $400 each. The 14-42 has a power zoom function that allows the lens to be about the same size as the 20mm pancake when powered off. It extends to double the size when powered on. The 45-175 is also power zoom, but you have the option to either twist the zoom ring, or use the switch on the side of the lens. It also zooms and focuses completely internally, so the size never changes. Now my MFT setup has (35mm equiv.) coverage from 28mm all the 350mm, along with the super fast and sharp 20mm (40mm full frame equiv) F1.7.
