does this lens has electric zoom motor? can be zoom through camera button, or only zoom by hands?
Asked by: Ariel
This is a manual zoom lens only. You have to control the zoom by hand. For a lens with a Servo Zoom on it we suggest the Panasonic Lumix G X Vario PZ 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. Lens, B&H # PA144235XS. https://bhpho.to/2omLPck

Will this lens fit my Olympus e volt e 510 camera?
Asked by: Robert
Olympus E-510 EVOLT uses Four-Thirds mount and the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II R Lens uses Micro Four Thirds mount so the lens will not fit on the camera.

question

Is this lens supposed to lock up before you want to zoom? Mine is only locking after I'm in the zoom mode and when I want to close it? I thought it should lock up after I close it also.
Asked by: Dan
Dan, the lock only works when you're closing the lens all the way down. I guess this is to keep you in the adjustable range while the lens is in use.(?) Enjoy this lens. Kit lenses don't get a lot of love, but this one is pretty darn good.
