Re manual focus: what is the SCP?

SCP is the Super Control Panel on your Olympus digital camera. See your camera instructions for information on how to use or disable it. Regards, Dave

12mm to 45 mm Olympus 4.0 or 12mm to 35mm 2.8??

I have the Olympus 12-45 and 12-40, the former appears to be exactly the same sharpness as the 12-40 and is a fair bit lighter and more compact. The extra 10mm (20mm) will make a big difference over the Pany. I've never had an issue with it being a constant f4.0, let's face it, the IS makes a big difference and I rarely shoot indoors or need to achieve very shallow depths of field. The only other difference is the MF clutch but then I'm usually shooting using autofocus. I also have the Pany 12-32 which I rarely use, the minimum length is pretty apparent. I use the 12-45 on my EM5 and I also have the 12-100 on my EM1, if I want to go really light with the EM1 I use the 12-45 and it makes for a very light set up. Appreciate the Pany is a good lens and is only a bit more heavy. So far the 12-45 has been an excellent lens as is the 12-40, the latter has not been been used since I bought the smaller one which speaks volumes. No hesitation in recommending it and I've never had a bad Olympus product in 10 years.

can you manually focus this lens without going into the menu?

Yes you can. There is a manual focus ring on the lens. Just assign an FN button on the camera to turn on manual focus. Press it to M/F and press it again to resume A/F. Dave
