What is the panasonic lumix g x pz 14 42mm f 3 5 5 6 good for?

This is a small, light Micro Four Thirds zoom for everyday shooting. It's a pancake-thin power-zoom kit lens, and it has image stabilisation and autofocus. On Micro Four Thirds it frames roughly like 28-84mm on full frame, so it covers wide-angle to standard views, which suits travel, street, family, and general snapshots. The aperture is f/3.5-5.6, so it gets darker as you zoom in. Expect less background blur at the long end and more reliance on light.

It fits a long list of bodies, so I'd pair it with a compact, everyday camera such as the OM System OM-5, the Panasonic Lumix G100, or the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV. For the crop factor behind those numbers, see sensor sizes.
