The 14-42 is quite trashy (wobbly) IMHO. The 9-18 is better but I think the retractable design is simply not needed. The MFT wide and standard zoom lenses are small enough for sure in their conventional design.

Hi Klaus,
Thanks for replying. I agree that the 14-42 is very wobbly, though the result at short and medium focal length are surprisingly good considering these feature. From a user perspective, I actually value the collapsible design quite a lot. Allows for a much smaller bag than any of the Lumix competition would. It matters if you have a camera with a single lens. Once you start adding more lenses (with their caps) you need a proper kit back and the size differences between the lenses are less important.
Thanks again for your reply. J.
