The new LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 12-60mm / F2.8-4.0 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S. offers a versatile 5x zoom range of 24-120mm. It fully covers a variety of daily shooting situations, from dynamic landscapes to portraits even in low-lit situations, providing a beautiful defocus effect by taking advantage of the F2.8-4.0 high-speed performance. Comprising 14 elements in 12 groups, the lens system features four aspherical lenses and two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses that effectively suppress spherical distortion or chromatic aberration to achieve stunning picture quality. All of the lenses in this series feature a 9-blade diaphragm to give the aperture a rounded shape that produces an attractively smooth effect in out-of-focus areas when shooting at larger aperture settings. All lenses also take advantage of Panasonic's Nano Surface Coating technology to minimize ghosts and flaring. They boast a rugged, dust/splash-proof design and are even freeze-proof down to -10℃ to withstand professional use under harsh conditions. The high-quality video recording capability is also one of the advantages of this lens series. In late May, the LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT F2.8-4.0 Series lineup will expand with an additional lens, the LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 8-18mm / F2.8-4.0 ASPH. Panasonic also announced plans to release a 50-200mm (100-400mm, 35mm camera equivalent) telephoto zoom lens, which is presently under development.The linear motor enables the camera to comply with the sensor drive at max. 240 fps to take full advantage of cameras with high-speed, high-precision Contrast AF. It also helps to reduce wobbling. Notably, the new lens excels in video recording performance. In addition to the silent operation achieved by the inner focus drive system, the micro-step drive system in the aperture control section helps the camera to smoothly catch up to brightness changes when zooming or panning. The optical design achieves exceptional barycentric stability to minimize image shifts during zooming. The AF tracking performance in zooming is also improved thanks to high-speed frame analysis for focus control. Some of the F2.8-4 Series lenses are also available with the POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) technology. The POWER O.I.S. effectively compensates for blurring, making it easy to shoot even in dim lighting. The lens works with the Dual I.S. (for LUMIX GX8), 5-axis Dual I.S. (LUMIX GX8), and 5-axis Dual I.S.2 (for LUMIX GH5 and G85) system when mounted on an applicable Panasonic LUMIX DSLM camera.
