Micro 4/3 Oly 14-42 EZ parfocal??

[Walter Palmer]

Can anyone here confirm that the little 14-42EZ is parfocal?? I am sick at the moment, so testing for myself is awkward and leaves doubts.

Not sure, as I dont tend to put much weight into the movie side of things, but it is sold by Olympus as optimized for filming, whatever that means, besides it having low noise emission AF motors.

If you have the test regime for such a test, I can whip out one of mine and give it a spin, after dinner.

Thanks, Jens,

I am much better today and did some testing. The Olympi14-42 EZ is definitely NOT parfocal.

No lenses made by Olympus or Panasonic are parfocal. Here are all the lenses in m4/3 mount that are parfocal at B&H

It's great to see you're over here now too.
