Panasonic Lumix G VARIO 14-140mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH Micro Four Thirds Lens

Robust physical design and versatile all-in-one zoom the Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-140mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH Micro Four Thirds Lens provides a variety of possibilities and features. This lens is designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and provides a 28-280mm equivalent focal length range. The lens construction incorporates three aspherical elements and extra-low dispersion elements for minimal chromatic aberrations and distortions resulting in image sharpness and clarity. Multi-coatings applied to individual elements reduce lens flare and ghosting ultimately for increased contrast and color fidelity in harsh lighting conditions.

Sporting a splash and dust-resistant design this lens works in inclement weather conditions. A stepping motor is included for fast and quiet autofocus performance for both stills and movies. Focusing speeds are quickened with an internal focusing design while maintaining the overall lens length during operation. Sharper handheld shooting with POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) benefiting this expansive wide-to-tele zoom range by compensating for camera shake.

 Features
