Olympus m zuiko 12 45mm f 4 pro vs olympus m zuiko 14 42mm f 3 5 5 6 ez?

Both lenses fit the same Micro Four Thirds bodies, so the choice comes down to what you shoot.

The Olympus M.Zuiko 12-45mm f/4 PRO is the one I'd pick for most people who want a single lens to do a lot. It covers a wider range, frames like 24-90mm on full frame, and holds f/4 across the whole zoom, so it's brighter at the long end and gives you more control over background blur.

The Olympus M.Zuiko 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 EZ frames like 28-84mm on full frame and gets darker as you zoom in. It's a fine everyday kit lens if you're just starting out and don't need the extra reach.

Neither lens is stabilised. If you're unsure how wide or long you need to go, the focal length guide will help you decide.
