It's possible that those lenses support CDAF

Thank you. What I find interesting is how the Panasonic bodies focus quite well with the legacy Panasonic 4/3 lenses. As mentioned in my post the 14-150mm Vario Elmar focusses quite well and I know from past experience the 25mm 1.4 D does as well. I wonder why the difference?

Since Panasonic has always been more interested in video than Olympus has, it's quite possible (although I certainly have no knowledge of this) that Panasonic built CDAF support into those particular lenses - just as Olympus did with the 5 lenses I mentioned.
