Panasonic LEICA DG Vario-Elmarit 8-18mm f2.8-4.0 Wide Angle Zoom Lens

The Micro Four Thirds system is often critised for not having enough wide-angle options. However, thanks to the new Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 8-18mm f2.8-4.0 this is no longer the case. Designed as a go-to wide-angle zoom for just about any creative application, the Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 8-18mm f/2.8-4 ASPH from Panasonic is a 16-36mm equivalent lens that blends optical excellence with durable, refined physical design for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras.

Designed in yet another stellar partnership with optics legends Leica, this wide-angle zoom lens features a series of low dispersion and aspherical elements to realise sharp and clear imagery with controlled fringing and aberrations, and a Nano Surface Coating also helps to minimise flare and ghosting for increased contrast and colour accuracy.

The durable metal lens body is splash, dust, and freeze-proof for use in trying environmental conditions, and a fast 240 fps autofocus drive suits both photo and video shooting in a variety of working situations.
