Taking it to the next level. Discover the all-new large aperture standard zoom lens. We are pleased to introduce a new large-aperture standard zoom lens, the LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 12-35mm / F2.8 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S. (35mm camera equivalent: 24-70 mm) for the LUMIX G Series that complies with the Micro Four Thirds standard. Achieving large aperture and integration of O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) in a compact size, lightweight profile, the LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 12-35mm / F2.8 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S. covers virtually any shooting situation. This lens is a redesigned replacement of the LUMIX G X VARIO 12-35 mm / F2.8 II ASPH., one of Panasonic’s Holy Trinity of LUMIX G lenses, that has passed a stringent optical standard of LEICA. The LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 12-35mm / F2.8 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S. is comprised of fourteen lens elements in nine groups including four aspherical lenses, one UED (Ultra Extra-Low Dispersion) lens and one UHR (Ultra High Refractive Index) to achieve high optical performance. The Glass material of the UHR lens element has been updated to that of higher transmittance to achieve even more natural color reproduction. Panasonic’s unique Nano Surface Coating provides effective antireflection coating that assures clear description. By applying thin coating with nanometer-level microstructure that features an ultra-low dispersion ratio, the reflection of the entire wavelength of 380-780 mm including visual light range are reduced. The LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 12-35mm / F2.8 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S. is capable of smooth, silent operation to work with the camera’s high-speed, high-precision contrast AF system with the sensor drive at a maximum 240 fps. It also excels in video recording performance with a mechanism that suppresses focus breathing, which was a fatal problem of all interchangeable lenses designed for still image photography.
