The lens is not the same as in Olympus ZX-2. This is convergent evolution, not inheritance. Both cameras use the same (sized) sensor and decided on the same focal length range (which is a round number 6 to 24mm for 4x zoom range starting at 28mm equivalent).
Olympus has 6 aspherical elements and in-lens IS. Pentax has 4 aspherical elements with in-body IS. The Olympus maximum aperture is (slightly) larger at larger focal lengths.
That's good to know. It just seemed wrong that Pentax, who has made some legendary glass in all these years, would license a lens from Olympus. Thanks for the info.
