1 The manual focus ring has a push-pull mechanism for switching between autofocus and manual focus. It’s a bit of a Marmite feature in terms of handling – some love it, some hate it.

2 Hands-on control extends to setting the aperture, thanks to a physical aperture ring with click steps in one-third increments.

3 Weather-seals on the mounting plate and around the barrel ensure a dust- and splash-resistant construction. Panasonic says the lens is freezeproof down to -10°C.
