Overall, the 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 is a very competent standard zoom and excellent entry-level performer. The fact that it hasn’t scored higher is due to the way in which the total figure is calculated, with just one of the five factors directly reflecting value for money.

Probably the most question for the users of this lens will be whether it's worth the upgrade to the 14-54mm ƒ/2.8-3.5. The 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 stands well on its own, where shots taken in generally favorable conditions will come out well. In low-light conditions the lack of a fast aperture setting becomes restrictive, and autofocusing becomes difficult. Image quality is good: chromatic aberration, distortion and vignetting are well controlled for a lens at this price point. There's no easy answer to the upgrade question, other than it depending on what kind of photography you're into. But for general shooting in good light, the 14-42mm is good value for the money.
