LUMIX G X Vario PZ 14-42mm/F3.5-5.6 ASPH• New Premium Lens Brand “X” From LUMIX G Micro System• Digital Interchangeable Power Zoom Lens• Nano Surface Coating Technology• Light Speed AF and Shortened Shutter Time Lag• POWER O.I.S.(Optical Image Stabilizer)The LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 14-42mm/F3.5-5.6 ASPH./POWER O.I.S. is a new cutting-edge interchangeable lens which incorporates electric-powered zoom operation from the new premium lens brand “X” for LUMIX G Micro System that complies with Micro Four Thirds System standard.

The lens features superb image rendering for lifelike textures crisp edge-to-edge contrast a unique Nano Surface Coating for minimal ghosts and flaring and natural atmospheres with remarkable transparency.Comprising of 9 lenses in 8 groups the lens system features excellent contrast at entire zoom range. The inclusion of 4 aspherical lenses that helps achieving the downsizing of lens unit also improves optical performance by minimizing distortion even at the 28 mm wide end.

The 2 ED lenses effectively compensates for the chromatic aberration. And the retractable-type zoom lens boasts outstanding compactness with approx. 26.8 mm** in length and approx. 95g in weight to realize ultra-high mobility.The Nano Surface Coating technology minimizes the reflection at entire visual light range (380nm-780nm) by applying the extra-low refractive index coating with nano-sized structure on the surface of the lens.

It results in the super clear image with dramatic reduction of ghost and flare.Adopting an inner focus system driven by a stepping motor the superior optical design realizes outstanding smoothness to support the high speed AF system of LUMIX G cameras. It achieves approx. 0.1 second Light Speed AF*** thanks to the downsizing of focus lens and its amount of movement.

By speeding up the aperture control shutter time lag is also shortened by approx. 40% compared with the LUMIX G VARIO 14-42mm/F3.5-5.6 ASPH. /MEGA O.I.S..****. ** When the lens is retracted.***The time for focusing on the subject is measured with the DMC-GF3 to move the lens position to 2m from infinity position at wide-end.
