The Lens is working 100% if not zoomed all the way to its furthest end i.e. 42mm at which time, AF works flawlessly but when turned for Manual Focusing, Lens most of the times work but sometimes goes dark and this messages appear on the screen; "Check the status of a Lens". But when return to the locked position, turn the camera off & on again, it will work again.

Did any Olympus Pen users have the same problem as well?

I read through so many camera forums but I yet to have an exact and satisfying answer regarding this lens issue.

Anyone who has already fixed their lens please let me know more about your situation, how much did you pay for repairing the lens? How long do you need to wait? Besides sending to Olympus service center, is there any alternatives?

Thank you guys!

Hello, have you done it before? How much is the estimated cost? Thx!

Finally got the lens fix at Olympus service center in Mont Kiara. All fees included labor fees are RM190!

So how much is the second hand 14-42mm ??

I guess so. Eventually I sent mine to Olympus Malaysia service Centre to repair. Costed me like around 150-200. Waited for one week to collect. Until now my lens still working fine. Hopefully no more error. Sigh
