PAN-HPS45175EK LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 45-175MM F/4-5.6 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. LENS

Panasonic PAN-HPS45175EK ( HPS45175EK, PAN/HPS45175EK, PANHPS45175EK, PAN HPS45175EK )LUMIX G X Vario 45-175mm F4.0-5.6 ASPH Lens

The LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 45-175mm/F4.0-5.6 ASPH./POWER O.I.S. (H-PS45175) is a new cutting-edge interchangeable lens with electric-powered zoom operation that complies with Micro Four Thirds System standard. The new premium lens brand “X” features superb image rendering for lifelike textures, and crisp edge-to-edge contrast, and includes a unique Nano Surface Coating for minimal ghosts and flaring and natural atmospheres with remarkable transparency.

The industry™s first adoption of the Multi-Actuator Floating Inner Focus System* which controls 3 lens groups separately by the individual actuator achieves downsizing in both size and weight. It also achieves high descriptive performance for resolution and contrasts at the entire zoom range of 45-175mm (35mm camera equivalent: 90-350mm) without changing the overall length. In addition, the lens system features the inclusion of 2 ED lenses, which suppress chromatic aberration, contributing to high descriptive performance at the entire zoom range.

Panasonic's 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 Light Speed AF of approx. 0.15 second**. By speeding up the aperture control, the shutter time lag is also shortened by approx. 20% compared with the LUMIX G VARIO 45-200mm /F4.0-5.6/MEGA O.I.S..***
