Panasonic Lumix G 30mm F/2.8 ASPH Mega OIS Macro Lens

Lens Description

The Panasonic Lumix G 30mm F/2.8 ASPH Mega OIS Macro is a normal prime designed for cameras with a Four-Thirds (2X) sensor. This bright prime has a 30mm focal-length. It provides the same field of view as a 60mm lens on a Full-Frame camera. An optical Image Stabilization System built into this lens compensates for camera shake.

This prime lens focuses down to 10.5cm from the imaging plane, capturing subject with a maximum 1X magnification. The high manification of the Panasonic Lumix G 30mm F/2.8 ASPH Mega OIS Macro allows it perform true macro photography. The lens supports autofocus and features a switch to disengage AF for focusing manually. A built-in focus motor is used to set the focus-distance. It allowed Panasonic to optimize the motor precisely for this lens in order to maximize performance.

The lens weighs 180g.

This lens is only available for the Micro Four-Thirds mount. It directly attaches and is fully compatible with all Micro Four-Thirds mount cameras.
