Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 50-200mm f/2.8-4 Zoom Lens

Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 50-200mm f/2.8-4 Zoom Lens

This versatile zoom lens from Panasonic is the perfect match for those photographers and video creators mainly shooting wildlife, outdoor, and nature photography, or corporate interviews. The Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 50-200mm f/2.8-4 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. Lens has a 35mm equivalent field of view of that of a 100-400mm zoom lens.

It has been designed in collaboration with Leica for Micro Four Thirds cameras. The long reach is complemented by a fast and bright f/2.8-4 maximum aperture range, which benefits working in low-light conditions and also affords control over depth of field for isolating subjects. The optical design incorporates several low dispersion elements, dual aspherical elements, and an ultra-high refractive index element to control both chromatic and spherical aberrations for improved clarity and sharpness. In addition, a Nano Surface Coating has also been applied to limit flare and ghosting for increased contrast and colour fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.

Benefitting both stills shooting and video recording, a 240 fps high-speed AF motor offers quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance. Also, a POWER Optical Image Stabiliser will compensate for camera shake and works with Panasonic's Dual I.S. and Dual I.S. 2.0 in-camera stabilisation functions to minimise the appearance of camera shake. Additionally, the physical design of the lens is dust- and moisture-resistant, as well as freeze-proof, for use in inclement shooting conditions.
