But please keep in mind that Lumix cameras do not have a built in Image Stabilizer in the body, they rely in the IS in the Lumix lens. Since Olympus camera have the IS in the body, they din't need it in the lens. Lumix camera with Olympus lens means no IS. I am not a pro. but this is what I read on various form when learning about Lumix and Olympus. **Q: Is this compatible with Oylympus E-410 ?** A: No, I don't think so as this lens is for Micro 3/4 and E410 is compatible with 3/4 systems only. A M3/4 body can use a 3/4 lens via an adapter but not vice versa **Q: Is this the same lens that came with my OMD (14-42 kit lens)?** A: Hi. No that lens would be called 14-42mm EZ Lens. This item I have shown is 14-42mm II R. Hope this helped. **Q: How would this work with the black magic pocket cinema camera? I've heard it doesn't work even though it's a micro 4/3 mount?** A: I googled and did not find such negative comments. I actually found one page that someone sold the camera with this lens together: http://www.bmcuser.com/showthread.php?9281-Blackmagic-Pocket-Cinema-Camera-Olympus-14-42-amp-canon-9-5-143-f1-8-B4-lens. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ olympus Lens *by O***N on 5 June 2025* It was a replacement lens and to date I have found it to work well.
