Panasonic LUMIX 42.5mm f1.7 LUMIX G ASPH POWER O.I.S. Lens

Panasonic LUMIX 42.5mm f1.7 LUMIX G ASPH POWER O.I.S. Lens

Designed for LUMIX G mirrorless cameras and the Micro Four Thirds system, this prime lens features a bright and large aperture f/1.7 to let the maximum light to the sensor and thus produce a beautiful bokeh background defocus effect for impressive, more creative images. Together with a 42.5mm mid-telephoto focal distance (35mm camera equivalent 85mm), this lens is more than ideal for clear, detailed and expressive portraits. 

Advanced Optical Formula with 7 Blade Iris Design

In addition, the lens One aspherical element is incorporated within the optical design, which helps to control spherical aberrations and distortions for enhanced sharpness and accurate rendering. The f/1.7 maximum aperture is particularly beneficial for selective focus imagery, and also aids shooting in low-light conditions. Further establishing its place as a versatile tool for portraiture, the rounded 7 blade aperture produces a smooth out-of-focus quality when making shallow depth of field photos and movies.

Fast Stepping AF Motor and POWER Image Stabilisation

In addition to the impressive optical attributes, the autofocus of this lens does not disappoint. It features a fast stepping AF motor and internal focus design, which provides smooth, quiet, and responsive focusing performance for intuitive handling. The POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabiliser) also benefits hand-held use by compensating for the effect of camera shake for sharper imagery.
