New Micro Four Thirds Digital
Interchangeable Telephoto Zoom Lens
LUMIX G VARIO 35-100mm / F4.0-5.6
ASPH. / MEGA O.I.S. (H-FS35100)
Featuring Ultra Compact Size in
Stylish Design with a Retractable Structure
NEWARK,
NJ (September 15,
2014) - Panasonic is proud to introduce a new digital interchangeable telephoto
zoom lens, the LUMIX G VARIO 35-100mm / F4.0-5.6 ASPH. / MEGA O.I.S.
(H-FS35100) based on the Micro Four Thirds system standard. Achieving high
picture quality, the new LUMIX G VARIO 35-100mm / F4.0-5.6 ASPH. / MEGA O.I.S.
designed in stunningly compact metallic profile with retractable structure
despite a lens with this versatile focal distance of 35-100 mm (Equivalent to
70-200 mm on a 35mm camera). It is useful in shooting images including portrait
or close-ups with impressively defocused background taking advantage of its
high portability. The lens will be available
in mid November at www.shop.panasonic.com and valued
channel partners.
Comprised
of 12 lenses in 9 groups, the lens system realizes uniform descriptiveness with
its excellent contrast from the center to the corners, equal brightness at
entire zoom range and high resolution. Notably, 2 ED (Ultra Extra-Low
Dispersion) lenses minimize chromatic aberration. An aspherical lens helps
achieve high optical performance while allowing dramatic downsizing of the lens
unit.
The
MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) effectively compensates for vibration
making it easy to capture images clearly even if they are shot with small
aperture.
It
incorporates a superior inner focus system which enables excellent resolution
and contrast from full life-size magnification to infinity. The inclusion of
stepping motor makes the focusing action smooth and silent for use in both
photo and video recording. When mounted on the Digital Single Lens Mirrorless
(DSLM) cameras of LUMIX G, users can take advantage of the high-speed,
high-precision Contrast AF system.
Seven
blades give the aperture a rounded shape that produces an attractively smooth
effect in out-of-focus areas when shooting at larger aperture settings. The new
LUMIX G VARIO 35-100mm / F4.0-5.6 ASPH. / MEGA O.I.S. lens also features a
highly reliable metal mount, and uses multi-coated lens elements that minimize
ghosts and flare to further enhance its optical performance.
The
LUMIX G VARIO 35-100mm / F4.0-5.6 ASPH. / MEGA O.I.S. in either silver or black
color matches the LUMIX Digital Single Lens Mirrorless (DSLM) cameras,
especially the new DMC-GM5 or DMC-GM1.
