Panasonic PAN-HPS14042EK ( HPS14042EK, PANHPS14042EK, PAN/HPS14042EK, PAN HPS14042EK) LUMIX G X Vario PZ 14-42mm F3.5-5.6 ASPH. POWER OIS Lens

The LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 14-42mm/F3.5-5.6 ASPH./POWER O.I.S. is a new cutting-edge interchangeable lens that incorporates electric-powered zoom operation from the new premium lens brand for LUMIX G Micro System that complies with Micro Four Thirds System standard. The lens features superb image rendering for lifelike textures, crisp edge-to-edge contrast, a unique Nano Surface Coating for minimal ghosts, and flaring and natural atmospheres with remarkable transparency.

Comprising 9 lenses in 8 groups, the lens system features excellent contrast at the entire zoom range. The inclusion of 4 aspherical lenses that help achieve the downsizing of the lens unit also improves optical performance by minimizing distortion, even at the 28 mm wide end. The 2 ED lenses effectively compensate for the chromatic aberration. And, the retractable-type zoom lens boasts outstanding compactness with approx. 26.8 mm** in length and approx. 95g in weight to realize ultra-high mobility.

The Nano Surface Coating technology minimizes the reflection at the entire visual light range (380nm-780nm) by applying the extra-low refractive index coating with a nano-sized structure on the surface of the lens. It results in a super clear image with a dramatic reduction of ghost and flare.

Adopting an inner focus system driven by a stepping motor, the superior optical design realizes outstanding smoothness to support the high-speed AF system of LUMIX G cameras. It achieves approx. 0.1 second Light Speed AF*** thanks to the downsizing of the focus lens and its amount of movement. By speeding up the aperture control, the shutter time lag is also shortened by approx. 40% compared with the LUMIX G VARIO 14-42mm/F3.5-5.6 ASPH. /MEGA O.I.S..****.

***The time for focusing on the subject is measured with the DMC-GF3 to move the lens position to "2m" from the "infinity" position at the wide end. Panasonic measurement method.
