• MF clutch mechanism as with the Olympus m.ZD 12mm f/2.0 lens but with a neat new trick:
  • if you put the ring in the MF position, set your distance, then push it back to AF and focus, it remembers the MF position. This means you can pull focus instantly between any two distances simply by pulling the ring backwards! Better still, the distance is held regardless of the zoom setting.
  • this is very useful for focus pulling in video mode!
