Not designed to support video?

No, they came out when the E-3 was released, which was years before the first and only E-body with video. They don't play well with CDAF.

You lost me I don't understand. The lens carries the Olympus MSC label which means Movies and Stills Compatible.

I'm just referencing the four-thirds SWD lenses, which are "ultrasonic" per Oly's specs, not any of the µ4/3 lenses, none of which use the SWD system so far as I know. They were released back in '08.

As an aside, the SWDs have mechanical manual focus, a plus for those who miss CAF+MF from the E-bodies.

Cheers,

Rick

Ok got it. Thanks
