Panasonic Leica DG Vario Elmarit 12-35mm f2.8 ASPH Power O.I.S Lens
The Panasonic Leica DG Vario Elmarit 12-35mm f2.8 ASPH Power O.I.S Lens is a cropped sensor lens that gives you a 35mm camera equivalent of 24-70mm when shooting and is designed to fit Micro Four Thirds cameras.
This lens is a redesigned replacement of the Panasonic 12-35mm f2.8 II ASPH Lumix G X Vario Power OIS with enhanced lens quality to meet Leica’s stringent optical standards.
High optical performance
Four aspherical lens elements work to reduce a variety of aberrations and distortions for sharp, clean image quality. The UED (Ultra Extra-Low Dispersion) lens together with Panasonic’s nano surface coating gives effective antireflection and clearer image production, while the UHR (Ultra High Refractive Index) lens’ updated high-transmission glass helps achieve a more natural colour reproduction. A new light shielding part further minimises the occurrence of ghosting and flaring.
Smooth bokeh
The rounded seven-blad diaphragm contributes to a smooth and pleasing bokeh quality, which can be used to isolate a subject and create images with a distinct depth of field. The f2.8 aperture supports greater control over the depth of field and grants the ability to work in difficult lighting conditions.
Versatile operation
A shorter focusing distance of 0.15m and a larger magnification ratio of 0.21x compared to the original lens, makes this Leica-approved 12-35mm f2.8 lens suitable for more versatile use.
The Power OIS allows for smooth and silent operation along with the high-precision contrast AF system giving a high-speed 240fps performance. This provides crisp images minimising the appearance of camera shake in handheld shooting, as well as the opportunity to record professional-quality video when utilising mechanisms which suppress focus breathing and give you micro-level aperture control.
The lens also supports Dual IS functionality for increased stabilisation performance; plus a splash-resistant, dust-resistant, and freezeproof design for working outside or in inclement weather conditions.
Compact design
Lightweight at approximately 306g, and with a compact build, this lens compliments the high mobility of the Micro Four Thirds system, yet maintains a rugged and durable design.
