Thank CTOnews.com netizens and independent photographers for their clue delivery! CTOnews.com December 14, Panasonic announced the launch of a new wide-angle zoom lens with large aperture, LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 12-35mm / F2.8 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S. (equivalent 35mm camera: 24-70mm), suitable for LUMIX G series conforming to M43 standard.

This lens is a redesigned replacement for the LUMIX G X VARIO 12-35mm/ F2.8 II ASPH lens. It is also one of the large ternary Panasonic LUMIX G M43 lenses, with a large aperture and optical anti-shake lens, compact size and light weight.

According to official introduction, LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 12-35mm / F2.8 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S. The lens consists of 9 groups of 14 lenses, including 4 aspherical lenses, 1 UED (ultra low dispersion) lens and 1 UHR (ultra high refractive index) lens to achieve higher optical performance.

The glass material of UHR lenses has been updated to achieve higher light transmittance to reproduce more natural colors. Panasonic's unique nano-surface coating technology provides an effective anti-reflective coating to ensure higher resolution. The thin coating with nanometer microstructure has lower dispersion, which reduces the reflection and dispersion in the range of 380-780mm (including visible wavelengths). Coupled with the newly designed sunshade, glare and ghosts are not easy to appear in the process of use.

Compared with the previous generation, the new lens has a shorter focus distance of 0.15m (wide-angle end) and a larger magnification of 0.21x (17mm), which can be used in more scenes.

In addition, LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 12-35mm / F2.8 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S. It is equipped with a new mechanism to suppress the respiratory effect, and the "microstep aperture control" has also been improved to achieve smooth exposure changes and professional quality video recording. Combined with the fuselage anti-shake and the lens optical anti-shake, the dual anti-shake can provide effective jitter correction.

LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 12-35mm / F2.8 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S. It achieves a lightweight weight and compact size of about 306 grams, and has the lightweight portability of the M43 system. Reliable dustproof / splash-proof design, can withstand the harsh conditions of minus 10 degrees Celsius. The diameter of the lens is 58mm and 7 aperture blades.

CTOnews.com learned that Panasonic LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 12-35mm / F2.8 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S. The lens will go on sale in January 2023 at a price of 999 euros (currently about 7373 yuan), the same price as the previous generation, and the domestic price has not yet been announced.
