I've had this lense for a.long time. Paid about the same.a few years ago. It's worked well for me. Great for pictures of the kids and family. I mostly used this and a high power zoom lense as my entire kit.

m4/3rds... haven't seen stuff for that in years
I'm one of those weirdos left. Just snapped about seven thousand shots over a two week trip to Ireland with a G9 ii and a Leica 12-60mm. Full frame queens laugh at me all day long but the quality speaks for itself.

Panny GX1 was my first "real camera" and I eventually moved over to Sony APC-C (a5000, a6500) like most others. Now I'm back to a small 1" sensor in the RX10; it has about the same quality as my old GX1 but with 600mm reach in a smaller package.

Mark II kit lens. Never figured $100 for it would be any kind of deal. Adequate for a kit lens, the mark I was actually a touch sharper, but the design was all kinds of messed up.

You can probably find an older PL series camera with this kit lens for under $100 on certain auction sites.

This is a meh lens. Fine for general outdoor photography but too slow to use without lighting help indoors.

If you have m4/3, get yourself some fast primes. The 20mm Panasonic lens was great.

lol I still use my GX1 ^^; With the 20mm pancake I can stick it in the pocket of my cargoes like a point and shoot instead of lugging my DSLR around (yes, I also still have a camera with an actual mirror in it lol)
