Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Will this lens cover video as well as stills?
A: Yes—its quiet stepping-motor autofocus is optimized for both sharp stills and smooth live-view video focus pulls.
Q: Does it work on Panasonic, Olympus, and third-party MFT bodies?
A: Absolutely. Any camera with a Micro Four Thirds mount will fully support autofocus, aperture control, and EXIF reporting.
Q: How’s the close-focus performance?
A: Excellent. You can focus down to 0.2 m (0.66 ft), which gives you a maximum magnification of about 0.1× for close-up shots with pleasing background blur.
Q: Is there any vignetting or distortion at wide open?
A: Vignetting is very mild at f/1.7 and nearly gone by f/2.8; barrel distortion is negligible and easily corrected in-camera or in post if desired.
Q: Can I use 46 mm filters or hoods?
