Problem with Panasonic 25mm f/1.4 (m4/3) and Olympus Cameras

Aug 23, 2011

Anyone using a Panasonic Leica 25mm f/1.4 (the new m4/3 one) with an Olympus Pen body?

Mine arrived this morning and the aperture blades are constantly moving and "clicking" adjusting to the light, when the live view or EVF are on.

I've used it on an E-PL1 and E-P3 and its the same on both. Everything is working fine apart from this, the pictures are perfectly exposed and very sharp.

If you are using this combination then with no problems then I know I have a faulty one.

The 20mm does this as well, just how the lenses are designed	millsart	Aug 23, 2011

GH2 does the same thing, but less stepping, as did X100 and X1	millsart	Aug 23, 2011
Polarizer or ND filter stops it	millsart	Aug 23, 2011

Does the same thing in all modes, its about image preview, not shooting mode	millsart	Aug 23, 2011
