I used to own a 45-175mm lens but it hardly got any use and it was rather large (compared to my other lenses) so i sold it. ED lenses combat and correct chromatic aberration to ensure the lens renders edge-to-edge sharpness and high contrast images. This telephoto zoom lens for Micro Four Thirds (MFT) system cameras sports a collapsible design, to reduce its size when not in use.

At 35mm sharpness levels are already excellent across the frame at maximum aperture and remain this way until the lens is stopped down beyond f/8. Take a look at our sample photos to see the effect, prominent mostly in the corners and on areas of high contrast. This combination of silent, quick focusing makes the lens well suited to shooting both stills and video.At the same time, its splash/dust/freezeproof design also makes it durable enough for shooting outdoors, so you can go out in nearly any weather with a splash/dust/freezeproof LUMIX camera and be creative. As a parent, you hope your child is extremely successful and likely become the next Gates, Zuckerberg, or Meg Whitman. Panasonic has wisely provided a less expensive option that will match extremely well with the Panasonic 12-32mm ƒ/3. The aforementioned lenses are a selection of fixed and variable-aperture zooms that feature an updated version of Panasonic's Power OIS system that works with 5-axis Dual I.

Sure, some of their effectiveness is due to modern sensors, but advances in lens technology make modern glass astonishingly capable. CameraWorld is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, registration number 689327.

even though it costs more and does not have quite the reach, but I didn’t know how the Olympus body would handle that OIS. I'm thinking that if you're on a sizeable GX7/GX8, you could go with a 14-140mm which allows you to run-and-gun from wide to telephoto. In addition to the silent operation achieved by the inner focus drive system, the micro-step drive system in the aperture control section helps the camera to smoothly capture the brightness changes when zooming or panning.

For what it does, the lens does it very well: the only performance item I might have a problem with is that the variable aperture reduces quite quickly. Hi, when I want to travel light, I use the lens combination mentioned in this review – Olympus 9-18mm, Panasonic pancake zoom 12-32mm and 35-100mm f/4-5.

All I can add is that for the money, it is incredible how good these small modern lenses are when compared against their consumer-orientated ancestors from the 70's, 80's and 90's, both pre-digital and during the introduction of the digital era. Panasonic have incorporated 18 elements in 13 groups, including two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses and one UED (Ultra Extra-low Dispersion) lens element.
