They definitely do call the newer version a "II" lens, but it doesn't seem to be marked.
So I persume from this that the GX 20 would have come with the new upgraded lens ?.

Just checked mine and nothing on the lens to say its the MK 2.
The "SAMSUNG 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 D-Xenon Lens II" does not bear a distinguishing mark, but the "SMC PENTAX-DA 1:3.5-5.6 18-55mm AL II" does. I have no idea how you tell the Samsung versions apart. Anyone have both side by side?

I think I have read somewhere that Samsung did not take up the MKII version, so maybe yours is based on the Pentax MKI. The Pentax versions are Marked 18-55II around the barrel
Fairly rare, but Samsung did release a Mk II
Just checked mine and nothing on the lens to say its the MK 2.

Has anyone done a test on distance to subject and sweet spot for there particular choice of portrait lens to find out the best range and setting.

Probably a daft question but here goes anyway how do you tell the difference between mk1 and mk2 of the lens.
