Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-45mm F/3.5-5.6 ASPH OIS Lens

Lens Description

The Panasonic Lumix G Vario 14-45mm F/3.5-5.6 ASPH OIS is a wide to short telephoto zoom designed for cameras with a Four-Thirds (2X) sensor. This variable-aperture zoom covers a 14 to 45mm focal-range. It provides the same field of view as a 28-90mm lens on a Full-Frame camera. An optical Image Stabilization System built into this lens compensates for camera shake.

This 3X zoom lens focuses down to 30cm from the imaging plane, capturing subject with a maximum 0.17X magnification. The lens offers a Quick-Shift AF system which lets the user simply rotate the focus-ring to focus 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 195g.

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.
