IT Home December 14th news, Panasonic announced the launch of a new large aperture wide-angle zoom lens , LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 12-35mm / F2.8 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S. (equivalent 35mm camera: 24-70mm), suitable for the LUMIX G series that complies with M43 standards.

This lens is a redesigned replacement for LUMIX G X VARIO 12-35mm/ F2.8 II ASPH lens. It is also one of the three major units of the Panasonic LUMIX G M43 lens. It combines a large aperture and lens optical anti-shake , which is compact in size and light in weight.

official introduction said that the LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 12-35mm / F2.8 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S. lens consists of 9 sets of 14 lenses, including 4 aspherical lenses, 1 UED (ultra-low dispersion) lens and 1 UHR (ultra-high refractive index) lens to achieve higher optical performance.

UHR The glass material of the lens has been updated to a material that can achieve higher transmittance to reproduce more natural colors. Panasonic's unique nanosurface coating technology provides effective anti-reflective coatings to ensure higher resolution. By applying a thin coating of nanoscale microstructures, it has lower dispersion, which reduces reflection and dispersion in the range of 380-780mm (including visible light wavelengths). plus the newly designed hood, it is not easy to appear glare and ghosting during use.

Compared with the previous generation, the new lens of has a shorter focus distance of , 0.15m (wide angle end), and the magnification of is larger , 0.21 times (17mm), which can be applied in more scenarios.
In addition, LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 12-35mm / F2.8 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S. is equipped with a new mechanism to suppress the respiratory effect . "Microstep aperture control" has also been improved. can achieve smooth exposure changes , achieving professional-quality video recording. Combining body anti-shake and lens optical anti-shake, double anti-shake can provide effective jitter correction.

LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 12-35mm / F2.8 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S. achieves the lightweight and compact size of of about 306 grams of , with the lightweight and portability of the M43 system. Reliable dust/splash-resistant design to withstand harsh conditions of minus 10 degrees Celsius. lens diameter is 58mm, and 7 aperture blades .

IT Home learned that the Panasonic LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 12-35mm / F2.8 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S. lens will be launched in January 2023. The price of is 999 euros (currently about 7,373 yuan) , the same price as the previous generation remains unchanged, and the domestic price has not been announced yet.
