2 years ago |I know. But still, I find the Olympus 14-42 MSC and the Olympus 12mm f/2, and the Panasonic 14mm f/2.5, all focusing reasonably quickly on my E-PL1. Only the Panny 20mm f/1.7 focuses like a DSLR lens with a slow DC motor. I think I CAN blame the lens a little…

2 years ago |If I am correct –
I think you do not download indervidual FW for lenses – what you do (deffinatly with oly bodies) is attach the lens you want to update to your camera – then using the camera update software look for updates – your camera AND the attached lens will be updated tot eh latest version….
Again if I am right –
I belive you can update any panasonic lens with an oly body via the olympus software updater! and an oly lens with panasonics updater!
And just to clarify – All m43 lenses correct for distortion on all m43 bodys.
But only panasonic lenses on panasonic bodys correct for CA!… so far!
Hey ADMIN Any roumours on Oly adding CA correction to lenses/bodys?? was a roumour ages ago about it!???

The Panasonic 14mm f/2.5 is now considerably faster on the GH2 with the Version 1.1 firmware upgrade.
I also check my other lenses and the 20mm f/1.7 is already Version 1.1 while the 14-140mm f/4-5.8 is already Version 1.4

Keith
2 years ago |Ah, the 14-45 doesn’t need a firmware update. It’s already ‘HD quality’ – I’ve just read the full article at dpreview (front page)
