My GX8 does not clone or slow or do anything else strange with the 40-150 pro lens.

Oh gosh, so now I am wondering is it the lens or the camera. Or both?

I'll do some more testing today with my other Olympus lenses as a comparison. I have tried 3x Panasonic lenses and none of them miss a beat on my GX8.

I will report back as I am fairly certain that this slowing down of the frame rate and increased sound level and vibration is affecting all non stabilized lenses, when fitted to my GX8 in the following circumstances:

* Electronic shutter on.

* Burst mode. Mid speed on.

* Stabilisation on (in camera).

As soon as the stabilisation is switched off, the camera speeds up and goes silent.

Note this does not happen with any Panasonic lenses!

pS. You may need to turn all camera sounds and beeps off to be aware of this happening.
