Why does your listing for the white E-PL5 body only say "old model", whereas the listing for the white E-PL5 plus 14-42 lens does not?

Those things are noted by Amazon not us, both models are the same except for the color difference.

Mine is the silver and black body with a black 14-50 lens. It may depend on the seller or lens kit.

A White Box lens is not Grey Market. In fact Grey Market lenses will typically be in Canon Boxes just like USA lenses. The white box lenses are pulled from camera kits. For example a store might get a 5DIII kit with the 24-105 lens and then take out the lens to sell both items separately. If the original kit was a USA kit then the white box lens from it will be covered under USA warranty as well.You can always contact the seller through amazon and ask them if it is a USA version with USA warranty. If they tell you it is then you should be fine. If a seller misrepresents the item in any way, Amazon always takes buyer's side and makes sure you get your money back.

If you buy the kit for $1,149.00, the lens will be included. "What's in the box" might be because it's a description of the body only and up. Maybe. Anyway, the lens will be there if you buy the $1,149.00 kit. It is a handy lens that matches the E-M5 nicely. Nothing beats primes, but the 12-50mm is very handy for the less serious daily walk-around use. I am very happy with mine, and am very pleased with the 12-50mm over the 14-42mm option. I've had both. Good luck!

It was listed as used. Maybe it was a returned item. Looked new to me. I'm always questioning if used lenses are worth taking a chance, but I have found 2 times, it is worth it. Also consider how easy it is to return on Amazon if there is any reason it is not up to expectations.

It's about the same this lens is what the earlier models came with I think I have the 16-50 lens too this one is just all manual and it feel there's more attachments for it like wide angle and fish eye instead of buying a whole new lens for both of those options.

I've never tried it with that body, but it should be compatible with any Olympus body, including the E-PL5. I've used the previous model, the VF-2 on the E-PL5 and this one is compatible with the VF-2, so it should work. A major improvement is that it locks in place.

It may also be the case that you are looking at used or refurbished lenses. I bought one used, it is like new and an excellent lens for low price. Best regards

From Web Offers, I received a DA-L...very deceptive--pictures here show and describe a full DA lens w/hood (also not received). Trying to return it

I was not sure when I first looked, then I realized the different models had different temperature capabilities, and if I recall some of them had different focus ratio as well.Keeping this in mind, Read descriptions carefully, the differences will be more apparent!

White box is just what it implies....lens comes in a white box rather than the Canon box. These are supposed to be a lens that was removed from a kit, where the camera was sold separetly. Perhaps because the buyer only wanted the camera. I also have to wonder if some retailer separate kits becasue they can get more $'s selling separetly. Just speculation??? Anyway, I have a white box lens and it came in a white box with the full warranty documentation, was brand new and works just great. I didn't need the $100 Canon box since I have no intention of reselling the lens down the road. But with anything, buyer beware so where you get it from might make a difference.

Same here, 7 months later. It appears to be a problem with the stock, not the order process. The packaging is all correct but the item inside the Neewer EOS-58 cellophane wrapper is definitely a 52mm thread lens reverser. There is no 52mm or 58mm imprint on the adapter itself, so a visual size check would be needed to clear out the wrong stock.

I have an E-PL3 so you will have to check if it is the same size as your with the 14-42 lens. The camera, with lens attached as well as the flash all fit, but there isn't room for anything ealse.

I think you just picked up the DX somewhere. The lens is DX with or without that in the seller's description. Note though that the new model is a VRII.

Hi Baku, the E-PL5 is a significant update. Higher ISO for low light shooting and he image quality is stellar as are all Olympus cameras, but please be aware that if you want to use the two lenses you mentioned you will need a micro 4/3rds to 4/3rds adaptor, since the PEN is a micro 4/3rds camera. I have the E-PL1 in addition to the E-520, and it is an amazing little camera. Also with an adaptor for the Olympus film camera you can use film lenses as well except you have to manually focus. The E-520 is five years old and while still a great camera technology has advanced so yes you should consider upgrading. Hi Baku, the E-PL5 is a significant update.

I bought one of these white box offers. It means it came in a kit sale with multiple lens. These lens came packed in separate packing, the white box. Some people would rather upgrade to a better lens. Some of the better lens cost more than the camera. Over all, it works just fine and I could tell mine was not used. That being said, the better the lens, more options for a clearer more defined focus at distances. Hope this helps

which lenses are you referring to? I purchased the body only and purchased a separate lens 15-85mm
