... is the 45mm mechanically coupled as well?

overlooked that part:

I cannot answer that question but I believe it is by-wire. The reason is simply that the way they fix the lens with a security belt is fixed at the blue ring so that this is a mechanical coupling .. I was not able to peel that away from the lens to test exactly that but I have the impression that is similar to the standard pancakes

thanks. I saw some sample pics of the lenses themselves today. the 45mm looks to have a nice build. what made me wonder is the AF/MF selection that is present on the 45mm. I was thinking it was made for convenience switching possibly.

the samples that you shown on the 12-24 looks good imo. lens look compact and small for a such a wide zoom lens.
