Panasonic 12-35mm f/2.8 II Lumix G X Vario ASPH Power OIS Lens

The Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 II ASPH. POWER O.I.S. Lens from Panasonic is a versatile zoom lens designed for Micro Four Thirds cameras, where it provides a versatile wide-angle to portrait-length 24-70mm equivalent focal length range. A constant maximum aperture of f/2.8 ensures consistent performance throughout the zoom range, and makes the lens well-suited to working in low light conditions and with shallow depth of field techniques.  The optical design uses four aspherical, one ultra extra-low dispersion, and one high refractive index glass element to control aberrations and distortions to produce sharp, clear imagery. A Nano Surface Coating has also been applied to reduce ghosting and flare for more accurate colour and detail, and a rounded seven-blade diaphragm produces a smooth out of focus bokeh quality.  This is complimented by the inclusion of POWER Optical Image Stabilisation to minimise the appearance of camera shake when working handheld. The O.I.S. system is also compatible with Dual I.S. for enhanced stabilisation performance.   The lens is finished with a durable all-metal housing that is dust, splash, and freezeproof, making it ready to withstand the demands of professional use.
