Panasonic 12-35mm f2.8 II ASPH Lumix G X Vario Power OIS

The Panasonic 12-35mm f/2.8 II ASPH Lumix G X Vario Power OIS is a high-performance standard zoom lens designed for Micro Four Thirds cameras, delivering a versatile 24-70mm equivalent focal length. Its constant f/2.8 aperture provides consistent brightness throughout the zoom range, making it ideal for shooting in low-light conditions or achieving beautiful background separation in portraits. The advanced optical design incorporates 14 elements in 9 groups, including four aspherical lenses, one Ultra Extra-Low Dispersion (UED) lens, and one Ultra High Refractive Index (UHR) lens, ensuring excellent sharpness and minimal distortion across the frame.

For handheld shooting, the lens is equipped with Panasonic’s POWER Optical Image Stabilizer (O.I.S.), effectively reducing camera shake to deliver sharper images. This stabilization system is also compatible with Dual I.S. when used with compatible Panasonic bodies, further enhancing stability for both stills and video. The lens’s Nano Surface Coating minimizes ghosting and flare, ensuring clear, high-contrast images even when shooting against bright light sources.

Built for reliability, the 12-35mm f/2.8 II features a rugged, dust- and splash-resistant design, allowing photographers to shoot confidently in challenging weather conditions. It is also freeze-resistant, making it a solid choice for outdoor and travel photography. Despite its durability, the lens remains compact and lightweight, making it a highly portable option for those who need a versatile, professional-grade zoom lens for everyday shooting.
