Panasonic's 3D Lumix G 12.5mm / F12

Whhhhhyyy not use a 3D lens for photo and/or video?

I do not have hands-on experience with that lens. Reading from Panasonic's own site and other sites:

  • fixed F12 (no zoom)

  • splits up the image sensor, assigning certain parts to each lens (less than half the sensor each with the GH2)

  • for 3D photo only when used with Panasonic's GH2, but could be hacked to shot movie (side by side recording; two less-than-SD images), users say video results are not impressive

  • PCMag review on GH2: “Literally every (photo) image shot with this lens was easy to look at and was rendered in impressive 3D”

  • Needs lot of light or a flash and a tripod.

Is that consistent with your hands-on experience with this lens on a NEX 5?
