High brightness at a long focal point is great not only for static objects, but also for sharp images of sports performance or animals at bay.
This 2.85 magnification lens with zoom gets you closer to distant objects. With a maximum aperture of F2.8 it can handle short exposure times, and thus sharply captures athletic performance or animal movements. Static objects are accentuated by a softly blurred background. Construction is resistant to moisture, dust and frost. Combine it with the same rugged Lumix camera body and be creative in any weather. The new version of the popular lens brings compatibility with the new features of the Lumix G series cameras.
Your photos will look great even in difficult shooting situations without the need to resort to a tripod. A super stable arm is not included in the package. Instead, there is an effective optical stabilization with Picture O.IS. It can cope with more camera shake. Photos will get clearly defined contours and sharpness across the image even when you zoom in or in lower light conditions.
Leverage the quality of the lens while recording video. Continuous change of the aperture eliminates sharp jumps in brightness, the silent AF does not disturb sound recording and AF performance is now mind-blowing. Precise focus to the level of structure and texture looks particularly ravishing in 4K Ultra HD resolution, which thanks to fine rendering is phenomenal.
The lens was fitted with a range of advanced optical elements to correct deficiencies common for such a long focus. The problem is significantly more chromatic aberration and losing contrast or colour straight towards the edges. Therefore, there are two Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) and 1 Ultra-Low Dispersion (UED). The special nano coating then does away with duplication and unwanted reflections.
