Panasonic LUMIX G Vario 14-140mm f/3.5-5.6 II ASPH. POWER O.I.S. Zoom Camera Lens

The Lumix G Vario 14-140mm f/3.5-5.6 II ASPH. POWER O.I.S. from Panasonic is a robust and versatile all-in-one zoom designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras and provides a 28-280mm equivalent focal length range to cover wide-angle to telephoto perspectives. The lens construction incorporates three aspherical elements and a pair of extra-low dispersion elements to minimize spherical and chromatic aberrations and distortions throughout the zoom range for greater image sharpness and clarity. Multi-coatings have also been applied to individual elements to reduce lens flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color fidelity in harsh lighting conditions. Rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces a smooth out-of-focus quality when working with shallow depth of field techniques.

Benefitting the optics, this zoom sports a splash and dust-resistant design to suit working in inclement weather conditions. This lens also features a stepping motor for fast and quiet autofocus performance that benefits both stills and movie shooting. An internal focusing design maintains the overall lens length during operation and also quickens focusing speeds.

POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) benefits this expansive wide-to-tele zoom range by compensating for camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. The AF system is also compatible with Lumix cameras' high-speed contrast-detection systems for focusing speeds up to 240 fps.
