Panasonic - LUMIX G X Vario PZ 45-175mm f/4.0-5.6 Aspherical Lens, Black

Enhance your photography experience with the Lumix G X Vario PZ 45-175mm f/4.0-5.6 Aspherical Lens in sleek black. This advanced, high-quality lens is a part of Panasonic's new premium "X" series, designed specifically for the LUMIX G Micro System that adheres to the Micro Four Thirds System standard. This innovative lens encapsulates Panasonic's cutting-edge optical technologies, delivering superior image rendering for lifelike textures and crisp edge-to-edge contrast. It features a unique Nano Surface Coating that minimizes ghosting and flaring, ensuring natural atmospheres with remarkable transparency. The Lumix G X Vario PZ 45-175mm f/4.0-5.6 lens is the industry's first to adopt the Multi-Actuator Floating Inner Focus System. This system controls three lens groups separately, resulting in a reduction in both size and weight without compromising on the lens's high descriptive performance for resolution and contrast across the entire 45-175mm zoom range. Despite its long zoom range from standard to telephoto, this lens boasts an impressively compact design, measuring approximately 90.0 mm in length and weighing approximately 210g. This compact hybrid design is achieved through the inclusion of two aspherical lenses, ensuring ultra-high mobility without sacrificing image quality. The lens also features two ED lenses that suppress chromatic aberration, contributing to high descriptive performance at the entire zoom range. The integration of Panasonic's Nano Surface Coating technology minimizes reflection across the entire visual light range (380nm-780nm), resulting in super clear images with a dramatic reduction of ghost and flare. The Lumix G X Vario PZ 45-175mm f/4.0-5.6 lens is equipped with a POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer), making it easy to capture super clear shots even in low-light situations. With the improved sensitivity of the gyro sensor, the POWER O.I.S. suppresses large, slow movements 2x more effectively. When mounted on the cameras of the LUMIX G Micro System, users can take advantage of the contrast AF system and the convenient functions derived from it. The lens's inner focus system, driven by a stepping motor, supports the Light Speed AF of approximately 0.15 seconds, speeding up the aperture control and shortening the shutter time lag by approximately 20%. The lens also features a circular aperture diaphragm with seven aperture blades, producing an attractive smoothness in out-of-focus areas even when shooting at large apertures. Available in both black and silver, the Lumix G X Vario PZ 45-175mm f/4.0-5.6 lens offers a fashionable, sophisticated look that perfectly complements any color of cameras from the LUMIX G Micro System. This reliable and durable lens is compatible with a wide range of cameras, including the Lumix DC-GH5, DC-GX850, DC-G85, DC-G85K, DC-GX85, DC-GX8, DC-G7, DC-GF7K, DC-GM5K, and DC-GH4, making it a versatile addition to your photography equipment.
