Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 II ASPH Power O.I.S Lens

Ideal for portraits and wide-angle shots, the Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 II ASPH Power O.I.S Lens is made up of 14 lens elements in 9 groups. The parts include Ultra High Refractive Index Lenses to improve optical performance and Ultra Extra-Low Dispersion Lenses to correct chromatic aberration. Ghosting and flaring are reduced by its Nano Surface Coating. This Micro Four Thirds mount lens performs well even in low-light settings due to its f/2.8 maximum aperture. Amazing angles are captured through its 12-35mm focal length while the 3x optical zoom provides precise focusing. When taking photos in shaky terrain, the Power Optical Image Stabilization keeps the shots stable. Fast focus tracking is provided by the 240 fps linear motor while amazing out-of-focus shots is possible through the 7 circular diaphragm blades. Housed in a durable metal body, this splashproof, dustproof, and freezeproof lens is fortified by a durable metal body that performs well in various weather conditions. Images and videos can also be enhanced by attaching related accessories in the 58mm filter diameter.

Product Features in Detail


Versatile High Performance
Get high F2.8 brightness over the entire zoom range with this high-speed zoom lens. Its focal length of 12 - 35mm (35mm camera equivalent: 24 - 70mm) covers wide-angle to standard to medium telephoto shooting. Not only ideal for capturing landscapes while traveling, this lens’s wide diameter gives you top-quality indoor shots too. Perceptive and defocusing effects add to the features, giving you exactly the kind of photos and videos you’re looking for. Its splash/dust/freezeproof design also makes it great for shooting outdoors, so you can use it in nearly any weather with a splash/dust/freezeproof LUMIX camera and be creative.


Tough for any weather
Brave the elements in nearly any kind of weather or shooting location. This lens features a splash/dust/freezeproof construction that is tough enough to withstand even heavy field use. It protects the lens system inside from sand, rain and more, making it perfect for shooting under harsh conditions. Now there is nothing holding you back from capturing the creative nature or landscape shots you want.


Power O.I.S
Capture scenes carefree or at the spur of the moment. The optical image stabilization (O.I.S.) technology built directly into the lens ensures your photos will look great, with sharp blur-free contours across the entire picture.

Taking highly popular MEGA O.I.S. further, this advanced technology immediately compensates even large camera shake and vibrations that may occur in photography. So you can capture true-to-life scenes without the need for a tripod. In the end, you’ll enjoy wonderfully crisp images.


Video Support
With video support any user has everything they need for recording with their LUMIX camera. Not only does it perform smooth aperture changes so there are no sudden jumps in exposure, it also boasts a silent design for enhanced capture of the scene’s audio. What’s more, the stunning AF performance of this lens records excellent 4K video, where precise focusing is essential.


Nano Surface Coating
Put an end to unwanted ghosting and flaring – the Nano Surface Coating has been applied to lenses within the system. This special, ultra-thin coating was developed originally by Panasonic to reduce bothersome reflections across the entire light spectrum. The result: crystal-clear pictures even if you’re photographing a light source in the dark.


Lens Construction
The Aspherical (ASPH) lenses reduce size and weight, effectively preventing spherical and distortion aberration. Meanwhile, the Ultra-high refractive index (UHR) lenses improve optical performance, reduce size and weight, and achieve uniform image quality from the center to the edges of the image. On the other hand, the Ultra Extra-Low Dispersion (UED) lenses correct chromatic aberration rendering sharp, high-contrast images with clear colors from corner to corner. For lenses that are capable of compensating distortion, the horizontal axis of the MTF shows the distance from the center of the corrected image.
