Panasonic Leica DG 8-18mm 2.8-4

This new zoom of the Leica DG Vario Elmarit F2.8-4.0 series offers a very dynamic focal length range from 16mm super wide angle to 36mm for photo and video recording. Thus, it is recommended for landscapes and architectural shots as well as for the sophisticated available light photography. As with all lenses in the new range, Panasonic's nano surface finish is used to suppress any reflections and ghosting. The lenses of the new series are also characterized by a robust, metal, dust and splash-proof construction and are frost-proof to -10 degrees Celsius. So they hold a professional use even under harsh conditions stand. The new lens is also recommended for video recordings. The focus engine is compatible with the high-speed precision contrast AF system of the current LUMIX G cameras with a data exchange corresponding to a maximum of 240 images per second. It also contributes to a uniform focusing movement. The inner focus works very quietly. There is also an exceptionally stable lens guide when zooming. It also provides a quiet video image. In addition, the security of the AF tracking function during zooming is also improved thanks to the high-speed single image analysis in the focus control.
