A versatile zoom covering wide-angle to portrait-length perspectives, the Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 II ASPH. POWER O.I.S. Lens from Panasonic is designed for Micro Four Thirds cameras, where it provides a convenient 24-70mm equivalent focal length range. A constant f/2.8 maximum aperture affords consistent performance throughout the zoom range, and benefits working in difficult lighting conditions as well as enables greater control over depth of field. The sophisticated optical design employs a series of aspherical, low dispersion, and high refractive index glass elements to control a variety of aberrations and distortions for sharp, clean image quality and a Nano Surface Coating has also been applied to reduce ghosting and flare. A POWER Optical Image Stabilizer minimizes the appearance of camera shake to suit handheld shooting, and this O.I.S. system is also compatible with Dual I.S. for enhanced stabilization performance. Additionally, the lens also features a durable all-metal housing that is dust, splash, and freezeproof to enable its use in harsh climates.

Just curious, What is the significance of the 14mm mark? It seems like it's there for a specific reason.
The different mm markings are so that you know where you are shooting at for say matching up focal lengths for different shots and ensuring similar look between takes or in similar photos.

Since zooms tend to increase minimum focus ...
Since zooms tend to increase minimum focus distance as they increase focal length, what is the close focus distance at maximum zoom (35mm)? I'm wondering if it can get tighter than the 35-100mm f/2.8 @ 35mm (0.85m). The lens states 0.25m, but like the 35-100mm, I assume this distance is only achieved when fully retracted.
I contacted Panasonic concerning your inquiry. According to the manufacturer, the minimum focus distance throughout the zoom range is constant at 9.8 inches (25 cm). As such, the minimum focus distance of the Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 II ASPH. POWER O.I.S. Lens at the 35mm focal length is 9.8 inches (25 cm).
