LEICA DG lens – the ultimate optics
Choose the LEICA DG lens and get the best optical quality and performance. Naturally, this lens meets the high quality standards set by the Leica AG Chamber. Thanks to the sophisticated design of these lenses, you can enjoy incredible sharpness right at the edges of your shots. Simultaneously, all types of distortion are avoided to allow for accurate and sharp image composition. That means you have the ideal tool for professional-level photography in the palm of your hand.

POWER O.I.S. – ultra-sharp photos
Capture scenes without worry or unexpectedly. The lens's built-in O.I.S. (optical image stabilisation) technology ensures good photo quality, with sharp and in-focus edges throughout the image. Taking the popular MEGA O.I.S. even further, this advanced technology immediately compensates for even the most abrupt movements and vibrations that can occur when taking photos. This allows you to capture realistic scenes without the need to use a tripod. The result is high-quality, razor-sharp photographs.

Nano surface coating – sharpness from any angle
Finally eliminate unwanted ghosting and flare – Nano Surface Coating has been applied to all lenses in the system. This special ultra-thin coating was originally designed by Panasonic to reduce reflections from the light spectrum. The result: incredibly sharp images even when shooting a light source in a dark environment.

Video Support – perfect video recording
Thanks to the video media, users have everything they need to record video with the LUMIX camera. Not only does the video mount provide smooth aperture shifts so there are no sharp differences in exposure, but it also features a quiet design to capture high-quality audio. What's more, this lens's outstanding AF performance allows 4K video to be recorded in excellent quality whenever exact focus is essential.      

Splash/dust/cold proof – more creative options
Go on an adventure in virtually any type of weather condition anywhere. This lens has a splash/dust/cold-proof design* tough enough to withstand even the most demanding conditions of use. This design protects the inside of the lens system from sand, rain and more, making it the perfect tool for shooting under the harshest conditions. Now there's nothing stopping you from capturing the creativity of nature or the landscape photos you want.
