  • Neo

    It's a pity there is no such native at Panasonic

    • Ruslan

      Who cares?

  • Ruslan

    A strange lens ... There are also 12-40 / 2,8

    • Arkady Shapoval

      2.8 with a price tag of about $ 1000, and this one is almost 2 times cheaper

      • Ruslan

        There is a second-hand

  • Oleg

    I don’t understand why 12-45 \ 4 when there is 12-100 \ 4 ... if they released something like Panas 10-25 \ 1.8 then something is clear

    • Victor

      Well, it's like saying “I don't understand why Nikon released 16-85, when there is 18-300”)

      Does the difference in size bother you?

  • Rodion Eshmakov

    What's with the diffraction limit on Micra?)

    • Michael

      It depends on which sensor. At 16Mp somewhere 5.6 holds - then a mustache
