I wonder why when even the cheapest Kit lenses - the 14-42R and 40-150R get it .... Seems bizarre to me unless the motor in the 12-45 is faster than a low cost MSC motor would be in that lens and ...

Agreed - LOL !!

Thanks for all the examples Folks, especially Tom Hong Kong and Henry faulkner who showed what I asked for and showed also that sample variation plays a massive part in this lens, Moreso than I ...

Not only that - one guy had it happen just focussing the oly 60 macro on a tripod  !!  .  OK he`d been doing it a lot but any camera which falls to bits focusing a budget plastic macro lens needs ...

Best bit its that if it has got a tiny scratch on the Front ele (which won`t matter) , you can get them by phone to arrange a pickup or ask for a part refund after sending a pic of Proof . it`s a ...

yes they do and WEX are really picky about things like that ..... mine was stated as "light dust throughout, heavier at the rear end" .. its got less dust in than most Mint ones from anywhere else ...

I`d get the 1yr warranty one there`s a cosmetically less than mint one at WEX 12 months warranty for £390 .. also if its a dud (Unlikely) , easy return with WEX .. I`d never buy a used lens off ...

LOL  ....... I couldn't be bothered even looking for it after the Doctor reported it had been done on an EPL1 ........

they did - and Improved on it and called it the EM1 Mk3

Mine is definitely a F2.8 lens , its very sharp indeed at 40mm F2.8 from close range to infinity as was the one I had in 2015 .. This is long range (infinity) so the hardest test .... obviously ...

I can`t see them doing that with all the negative reactions to Panasonic charging way too much for S1 and G9 minor video firmware additions - given the crazy price the EM1X was - (and really still ...

I doubt that as I`ve never been on it in the first place  being historically a "Pan-Fan" rather than an Olyboy (apart from the orig EP1 of course) M43 body wise  ..  I`d have a G9 now if they ...

I`ts when they run an ad campaign like this , you know there`s a problem ..... " Remember you can't knock in nails with a Mark-III " - and just for the Month of August we`re giving this fantastic ...

I`d not even want one - if I was spending that kinda cash on an pro work rig for sports, I`d go Nikon DSLR all the way like I did for my general purpose work rig .. I`m guessing others will see ...

they wouldn`t - or the Mk3 come to that .... it`s a Psychological ruse to rid the inventory of a high level of EM1Xs and 300 primes is my guess ........ they need to shift poor selling high end ...

Thats the rub - the oly 14-150 would appear to be like the Fuji 18-55  F2.8-4 and the original canon 16-35 F2.8L  - 1 in 10 is a good one ----  this indicates that its not an easy lens to assemble ...

in all fairness , that shot is at F10 - that`s well into diffraction - add that its a highly compressed OOC JPG as Henry mentioned and you can hardly be expecting RAW shot F4 -F5.6 developed in ...

i`d blame the latter on using it on an Oly body - they`re bang on AF wise on panasonic cameras , the Pan 12-60 simply won`t AF at infinity on Phase detect Olys at 60mm unless you force the thing ...

Well its one all at the moment  (Going by sample images) ........ Tom's is decentered (he also has a decentered repaired one which doesn`t count) , Henry Faulkners is bang on .. We`ll see how this ...

Congrats on that !!
