Panasonic lumix g x 12 35mm f 2 8 ii vs panasonic 12 32mm f 3 5 5 6?

Both are Micro Four Thirds zooms, but they're aimed at different jobs.

The Panasonic Lumix G X 12-35mm f/2.8 II is the one I'd pick for most people who want better results. Its constant f/2.8 aperture lets in more light and gives more background blur, and it's stabilised and has autofocus. On Micro Four Thirds it frames roughly like a 24-70mm on full frame.

The Panasonic Lumix G 12-32mm f/3.5-5.6 is a tiny collapsible kit zoom. If you mainly want something small to carry everywhere, that's its appeal. I don't have the same detail on it here, so I can't compare stabilisation or sharpness for you.

For a general-purpose lens, the 12-35 is the better choice. If size matters more, the 12-32 is the one to consider. For the basics of focal length and depth of field, see the focal length converter.
