Cross compatibility of Olympus lenses with Panasonic bodies

Hello.

When shooting a Lumix camera with an Olympus lens, will the Lumix bodies (all/some/none) fully support lens correction profiles, to remote distortion and purple fringing, for example?

I have been offered a set that consist Lumix G80, and lenses m.Zuiko 12-40mm f/2.8 and m.Zuiko 75mm f/1.8.

I already know that 12-40's Fn-button doesn't work with Lumix bodies but that doesn't bother me. What bothers me is that if G80 can't read/write the correction profiles of these two lenses.

Yes, the correction information is resident in the lens and won't be altered by the Panny body. I happen to love using the 75 on the GM5.

Cheers,

Rick

Well, my Oly pro 12-100 and the Oly pro 40-150 work superbly on my G9. Not sure if the lens correction is being applied but I have never seen any artifacts that suggest the corrections are not taking place. I suppose a WA lens might be a different matter.

They all work very well and I know that from first hand user exprience.

The lens function button also works to a limited degree on some Panasonic cameras. This is from my GX9 manual

[Lens Fn Button Setting]
Sets the function to be assigned to the focus button of an interchangeable lens.
• You can call up the assigned function by setting the focus selector switch of a
compatible interchangeable lens to [Fn] and then pressing the focus button of the lens.
Settings: [Focus Stop] / [AF/AE LOCK] / [AF-ON] / [Stabilizer] / [Focus Area Set] /
[AF Mode/MF] / [Preview] / [Off] / [Restore to Default]
●When [Focus Stop] is used, the focus is locked while the focus button is pressed and held.

As others have said, the lens corrections work fine. The 12-40mm f2.8 is a cracking lens, the constant f2.8 is what sold the lens to me., hence, I recently bought one and use it on G80. The manual clutch is a very nice feature and works well. A few G80 + 12-40mm images here https://www.flickr.com/photos/dieselgolfer/albums/72157719661820874/with/51399253927/

The G80 is a great camera too,  fully featured and relatively compact.
