Hi

I should be grateful for some advice, please.

I am using a Panasonic 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 II on an Olympus EM-10 and find that when the lens is zoomed hard (there is no further available movement of the zoom ring) to the 42mm position, the display in the viewfinder sometimes shows 40mm and the EXIF data also shows 40mm.

On other occasions the display and EXIF data correctly show the 42mm setting.

Has anyone else experienced this type of behaviour before and does this suggest that it is an incompatibility issue or could the lens be faulty?

The lens is new

Thanks

Since I don't have the EM-10, I cannot give you an answer but I do have the Panasonic 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 II and use it on my Olympus EPL-7 without any issues. The EPL-7 from my understanding is very similar to the EM-10. Maybe someone else will chime in who has used that lens on the EM-10.
