Product Description ------------------- 35-100mm Telephoto Zoom Lens (70-200mm equiv.). F2.8 aperture available through the entire zoom range. X Lens, HD Silent AF design. Power OIS. Min focus dist. = 85cm. Nano surface coating. 2 ED lenses, 1 UED lens. Robust Splash & Dust proof metal body construction. Fast and bright lens ideal for low light photography or video use. The large aperture offers a shallow depth of field for striking visual impact. Would make a great kit bag companion for the HS12035E. Introduction to Lumix G Lenses ------------------------------ High Performance and Small Form Factor -------------------------------------- When Panasonic developed the Micro Four Thirds System Camera one of the benefits that came with it was the ability to dramatically reduce the size and bulk of the corresponding lenses. Using its expertise in aspherical lens manufacturing and with the cooperation and strict quality standards of Leica AG on board, it set about producing a wide range of lenses that would satisfy a new generation of camera users. Whatever photo rtunity arises, the growing number of high quality, creative lenses available for the MFT system ensures that you won't miss out. Many lens manufacturers now contribute to the fastest growing digital camera system with over 30 models from manufacturers such as Olympus, Sigma, Leica and, of course Panasonic, already available and more being added regularly. High Precision Optical Performance ---------------------------------- Nano thin surface coating virtually eliminates ghost and flare entirely Anti-Ghost and Flare with Nano Surface Coating Lens --------------------------------------------------- In advancement to regular multi-coating lens technology to reduce flare and reflections, the application of a Nano thin outer layer coating virtually eliminates ghost and flare entirely. Extra-low Dispersion (ED) Lens Elements --------------------------------------- Extra-low Dispersion (ED) lenses are used to keep colour aberration to a minimum. These are mainly used on high telephoto or wide angle lenses where the light is entering at extreme angles or the focal length is long. By reducing colour aberrations, high contrast and detail is maintained across the full width of the image. Ultra Extra-low Dispersion (UED) Lens Elements ---------------------------------------------- An enhancement of the Extra-low Dispersion (ED) lens, Ultra ED are even more effective at reducing colour aberration. By reducing colour aberrations, high contrast and detail is maintained across the full width of the image, resulting in beautiful high quality pictures. New Lumix Category "X" Lens --------------------------- In 2011, Panasonic introduced the first of their "X Series" lenses. Lumix X lenses incorporate high-end optical technology along with the very latest digital control. Features include; Low Distortion, Corner to corner high resolution, Minimal ghost and flare, Crisp edge to edge contrast, Power optical image stabilisation and high-speed and silent contrast AF drive. All in all establishing a premium lens range amongst the Lumix line-up. In-Lens Power Optical Image Stabilisation (Power O.I.S.) -------------------------------------------------------- Panasonic's lens-integrated gyro system ensures power efficient and accurate vibration compensation Panasonic's extensive knowledge of building highly effective stabilisation in to our professional broadcast cameras led to the introduction of the Mega O.I.S. that compensates for tiny movements of the camera during shooting (up to 4,000 times per second). Power O.I.S. improves that compensation and doubles the effectiveness of shake suppression (when compared with Mega O.I.S.), especially for low frequency vibrations or when shooting in low light. Panasonic's lens-integrated gyro system ensures power efficient and accurate vibration compensation, matched to each lens, proving its effectiveness time after time. Circular Aperture Diaphragm (7 Blades) -------------------------------------- A circular aperture is essential for creating a smooth soft focus area when a large aperture is selected for the . Panasonic use seven aperture diaphragm blades in our lens to ensure a smooth transition at the focus edge. High Precision Mechanical Performance ------------------------------------- A screw unit integrated with the motor shaft moves the focus lens directly, without the need for relay gears or cams Original Lens Stepping Drive Motor for High-speed Contrast AF ------------------------------------------------------------- In conventional digital SLR cameras, contrast AF is more accurate than phase difference AF, but ordinarily has a slower focus speed. Panasonic have overcome this problem by incorporating a unique stepping motor in the drive system. A screw unit integrated with the motor shaft moves the focus lens directly, without the need for relay gears or cams. The result is auto focusing that is swift and accurate. It could be the difference between capturing the or not. Silent AF Motor Drive - Perfect for HD Video ------------------------------------------------------ In addition to the fast stepping motor drive the improves the speed of focussing, this lens model also uses an inner linear motor that is almost silent in operation. This makes the lens ideal for use when videoing as no motor noise will be picked up by the microphone. High Quality Metal Barrel Construction -------------------------------------- The highly durable metal construction of the lens barrel ensures this lens will go on delivering the reliability you would expect and work with you in environments where lesser lenses may falter. High Reliability Metal ---------------------------- Continually fixing and unfixing lenses to your camera body puts a lot of strain on the lens . As an important part of the lens barrel, a metal is more durable and retains an accurate fixing to the camera body. Resulting in a more reliable performance for many years to come. Dust & Splash Proof Construction ------------------------------------ Some shooting situations come with tough conditions for a high precision camera and lens to face. This lens comes with the added protection of a dust and splash proof construction that can withstand a light shower of rain or dusty situation.
