The problem with the new Pen F is there with the Zuiko 12-40 f2.8...It struggles to autofocus and 70% of the times just doesn't autofocus...

So there is definitely a compatibility issue with the lens...Maybe they will fix it with firmware..When using the primes 17mm f1.8 and 45mm f1.8 it just autofocus fast and snap...

I am definitely frustrated because i have tried everything and it just doesn't work...My old E-P5 plays nicely with the 12-40 f2.8

Any ideas to try?

Buy a different body or lens for now and just wait.

Then in 6 months time, if you're lucky, Olympus will issue a firmware update, and silently fix what wasn't admitted was broken in the first place! then all will work fine
