Lumix G Vario 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II ASPH. Mega O.I.S
Versatile Standard Zoom for Micro Four Thirds
The Lumix G Vario 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II ASPH. Mega O.I.S. lens from Panasonic is a versatile standard zoom lens with a 28-84mm equivalent focal length range, for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. This wide-angle to short telephoto focal length range makes it a great choice for use in a wide variety of situations.
The lens construction features a pair of aspherical elements that work to reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations throughout the zoom range and also contribute to a more compact, lighter-weight design. When working with shallow depth of field techniques, a rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces smooth out of focus areas. This is complimented by MEGA O.I.S (Optical Image Stabilisation) to minimise the appearance of camera shake when shooting handheld. This system is also compatible with Lumix cameras featuring the Dual I.S. feature that pairs in-body and lens-based stabilisation methods.
