## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the difference between this one and the previous generation?**
A: I am guessing (and apparently the Panasonic team could not figure this out) is not the "previous generation" of this lens, but the also recently released 12-60/3.5-5.6 lens. The first version was (1) half the price, (2) about 1/3 less weight and (3) not Leica branded. I have it and am very happy - but of course I got it before this new 12-60 was announced. There has only been (from what I have found) one full review of the new lens - and no direct comparison so far between the two. Everyone on the photography boards are assuming that because of the way the new lens was made (different lens configuration and build quality) that it should produce better images. But as I said - no direct comparisons yet. The original was more of a "consumer grade" lens and the new one seems to be more of a "pro" lens - even though Panasonic has not used that "pro" designation the way Olympus has.

**Q: panasonic:: everyone on dpreview has made in china lenses. isn't this lens made in china and not germany?**
A: Thank you for reaching out! While a German brand lens this unit is manufactured in China

**Q: Is this a constant f2.8 or does the fstop decrease as you zoom in?**
A: The lens is not a constant 2.8 it is a variable to f4

**Q: Can someone provide me with the physical dimensions of the lens? Specifically, length from the camera body to the end of the lens at the 12mm zoom pos**
A: Dear customer, thank you for your question. Filter diameter 62mm Max. diameter Approx. 68.4mm (2.7inch) Overall length Approx. 86mm (3.4inch) (from the tip of the lens to the base side of the lens mount) Mass (Weight) Approx. 320g (0.70lb)
