A unique zoom covering ultra-wide to short portrait-length fields of view, the Panasonic Lumix S 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 is a sleek and versatile lens designed for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras. The distinct range of focal lengths is also complemented by flexible focusing capabilities, which permit working with subjects as close as 5.9" with a 0.43x magnification for near-macro performance. In terms of optics, the lens incorporates a series of aspherical, high refractive index, and low dispersion elements to control a variety of aberrations and realize a high degree of clarity and sharpness. A fluorine coating has been applied to the front element to reduce smudging and make it easier to clean and then lens also features a weather-sealed design for working in harsh environmental conditions. Additionally, suiting both photo and video applications, a stepping motor is featured, which affords fast, precise, and near-silent autofocus performance.

Panasonic Lumix S 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 Overview
Wide-to-short telephoto zoom is designed for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras, however can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 30-90mm equivalent focal length range.
Two aspherical elements and one ultra high refractive index (UHR) element, help to minimize distortions and spherical aberrations throughout the zoom range in order to maintain edge-to-edge sharpness and illumination.
Three extra-low dispersion elements greatly reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing in order to produce a high degree of clarity and color accuracy.
Stepping AF motor delivers quick and quiet focusing performance that benefits both photo and video applications.
Maximum magnification of 0.43x and a minimum focusing distance of 5.9" benefits working with close-up subjects.
AF/MF switch permits quick changing between focusing modes.
Splash, dust, and freezeproof design benefits working in inclement weather conditions down to 14°F.
Fluorine coating has been applied to the front element to prevent dirt and oils from sticking to lens.
Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.

How quickly does the f stop drop when zooming in? ...
How quickly does the f stop drop when zooming in? 20-60 is not a very wide range change, so I'm wondering how slow this lens will be around 35mm.
There is a relatively linear rate of decrease in aperture as the focal length changes/increases. The apertures of the Lumix S 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 at each marked focal length are as follows: 20mm f/3.5, 24mm f/3.8, 28mm f/4, 35mm f/4.5, 50mm f/5.3, and 60mm f/5.6.

Does this lens does not offer the linear focus ...
Does this lens does not offer the linear focus feature as found in the S Pro series of lenses?
I'm trying to determine if the 20-60 has the linear focus option when focusing MANUALLY, like the S 24mm and my S Pro 24-70 lens. This provides much better feedback and accuracy than typical focus-by-wire lenses.
Per the Panasonic S 24mm:
"Benefitting professional video applications, linear focus ring control for mechanical-based follow focus systems moves the focus at a constant speed in accordance with the rotating angle of the focus ring."
