The new LUMIX G X VARIO 12-35mm / F2.8 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S. lens offers a versatile zoom range of 12-35mm (35mm camera equivalent: 24-70mm) featuring F2.8 brightness at entire zoom range. It is suitable for capturing a wide range of scenes from dynamic landscape to portrait taking advantage of beautiful defocus or fast shutter speed.
Crystallizing Panasonic's optical technologies, the "X" lens features superb image rendering for lifelike textures, crisp edge-to-edge contrast, a unique Nano Surface Coating for minimal ghost and flare and natural atmospheres with remarkable transparency.
Panasonic's Nano Surface Coating technology is adopted to minimize the reflection at entire visual light range (380nm-780nm) by applying the extra-low refractive index coating with nano-sized structure on the surface of the lens. It results in the super clear picture with dramatic reduction of ghost and flare.
The POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) which is newly integrated in the LUMIX G X VARIO 12-35mm / F2.8 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S. effectively compensates for not only small, fast movement but also large, slow one making it easy to shoot super clear shots even in low-lit situations such as in night time or indoors.

Standard 3x zoom lens covers wide range of shooting scenes from dynamic landscape to portrait. Excellent contrast at entire zoom range and an aspherical lens minimize distortion. Inner focus system driven by a stepping motor and superior optical design realize fast & precise AF system of LUMIX G micro system with outstanding smoothness. MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) prevents the blur caused by a hand shake and makes it easy to shoot super clear shots even in low-lit situations.

From casual snapshots to portraits to sweeping landscape, this versatile zoom lens provides beautiful results in a wide range of shooting situations. It covers the standard focal range of 28 to 90 mm (35mm equivalent). The aspheric lens element also improves optical performance by minimizing distortion, even at the 28mm wide end. Featuring a highly reliable metal mount, the new lens system uses multi-coated lens elements that reduce ghosts and flare to an absolute minimum, helping deliver a high optical performance. It incorporates MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer), which makes it easy to shoot super clear shots even in low-lit conditions by suppressing the blur caused by a hand shake. When the lens is mounted on the newly introduced Lumix DMC-G1, you can use the contrast AF system, which is implemented in the DMC-G1 to offer a wide variety of convenient functions.

Incorporates an inner focus direct-drive linear motor for focusing, this lens allows fast and accurate continuous auto focus to operate smoothly and silently during movie recording. It offers a long zoom of 14-140mm (35mm camera equivalent: 28-280mm) suitable for a wide range of shooting situations from scenery to portraits to telephoto shots, all possible with this compact and lightweight lens. Using 4 aspherical lenses and 2 ED lenses to achieve dramatic downsizing - despite its powerful 10x optical zoom - and still minimizes distortion and chromatic aberration. Panasonic's Mega O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) incorporated in the lens making it easy to shoot clear and blur-free shots even in telephoto shooting or in low-light situations. It also features a highly reliable metal mount, and uses multi-coated lens elements that minimize ghosts and flare to further enhance its optical performance.
