Panasonic LUMIX PZ Vario 45-175mm f4.0-5.6 POWER O.I.S. Lens (Micro Four Thirds)

Panasonic LUMIX PZ Vario 45-175mm f4.0-5.6 POWER O.I.S. Lens (Micro Four Thirds)

This PZ 45-175 POWER O.I.S. zoom has been developed as a long telephoto option for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and provides a 90-350mm equivalent focal length range in 35mm FF terms. 

The optical design features a pair of aspherical elements help reduce spherical aberrations and distortion in order to achieve notable sharpness and accurate rendering. In addition, 2 x extra-low dispersion elements suppress chromatic aberrations and colour fringing for improved clarity and colour accuracy. A Floating Elements System is used to maintain consistent image quality throughout the zoom and focus ranges.

Additionally, the optical engineers at Panasonic have implemented a Nano Surface Coating, which has been applied to individual elements to noticeably reduce lens flare and ghosting for greater contrast and colour fidelity when working in strong lighting conditions.

When it comes to reliable and fast Autofocus, this lens does not disappoint. The Stepping AF motor and internal focus design provides smooth and quiet focusing performance that is well-suited to both photo and video use.

Furthermore, the Panasonic POWER Optical Image Stabiliser (O.I.S.) minimises the appearance of camera wobble in both images and video footage to help you get the sharpest images and footage possible when filming handheld.

Moreover, the lens has a Power zoom design, which affords a smooth, controllable zooming motion that is adjustable via the built-in zoom lever. And last, but not least, the aperture design features seven rounded blades for pleasing bokeh in out-of-focus regions.
