The Lumix G Vario 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 CSC Lens from Panasonic offers dual aspherical lenses that are sure to add that finishing crisp touch to your photos. This compact and lightweight design hosts a range of features that will benefit professional and hobbyist photographers alike.
Key Features
In-built Optical Image Stabilisation negates any hand shaking when capturing those spur-of-the-moment photos.
Powered by a stepping motor the high-speed contrast AF system will enhance contrast for both still images and video recording.
The Lumix G Vario 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 CSC Lens combines dual aspherical lenses and an outstanding versatile zoom range of 14-42mm making it great for landscape and portrait situations.
Compatible with all G series cameras this lens' light and compact design makes it a must have addition for any photographers camera bag.
Optical Image Stabilser in the lens effectively compensates for the handshake to realise using super high zoom even without a tripod.
The Lumix G 25mm f/1.7 ASPH. Lens from Panasonic is a 50mm equivalent lens featuring a bright f/1.7 maximum aperture for enhanced low-light shooting and depth of field control. One UHR (Ultra-High Refractive Index) element pairs with two aspherical elements to reduce chromatic aberrations and distortions for consistent edge-to-edge sharpness and illumination. The optical construction also helps to realize a compact overall form factor, measuring just 2"-long and weighing 4.4 oz. Benefitting both stills and video capture, this lens also incorporates a stepping motor for smooth, quiet autofocus performance that is compatible with Lumix cameras' high-speed contrast-detection focusing systems.
Designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras, this lens provides a 50mm equivalent focal length to represent a normal perspective.
Fast f/1.7 maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and also enables extensive control over focus placement for selective focus applications.
One UHR element helps to achieve even illumination and sharpness for consistent performance throughout the aperture range.
A pair of aspherical elements reduces chromatic and spherical aberrations for increased sharpness and clarity.
Stepping motor delivers fast, smooth, and near-silent autofocus performance to benefit both still photograph and movie recording applications.
