Covering a focusing distance from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto, this new LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT F2.8-4.0 Series achieves exceptionally high descriptiveness for both photo and video recording and yet its size is kept compact. The lens takes advantage of Panasonic’s Nano Surface Coating technology to minimise ghosts and flaring, it boasts a rugged, dust and splash-proof design and is even freeze-proof down to -10 degree Celsius, to withstand professional use under harsh conditions.

The LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 50-200mm F2.8-4.0 ASPH. offers a zoom range of 100mm to super telephoto 400 mm (35mm camera equivalent). It covers a variety of daily shooting situations, from wildlife to indoor sports, and even supports portrait shots, taking advantage of the f/2.8-4.0 high-speed performance. Furthermore, the 1.4x Teleconverter DMW-TC14 extends the focusing distance to 560mm (35mm camera equivalent) and the 2.0x Teleconverter DMW-TC20 to 800mm (35mm camera equivalent) for more close-up shots, both available for hire separately.

The POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabiliser) effectively compensates for the hand-shake movement, making it easy to shoot even without a tripod. The lens works with Dual I.S.* (Image Stabilizer) and Dual.I.S.2** when mounted on the compliant Panasonic LUMIX G cameras.

Paired with a compatible Lumix G camera that is capable of sensor drive at a maximum 240 fps, you can take full advantage of high-speed, high-precision Contrast AF. It also helps to reduce wobbling. Notably as a result, the lens excels in video recording performance. In addition to the silent operation achieved by the inner focus drive system, the micro-step drive system in the aperture control section helps the camera to smoothly catch up to brightness changes when zooming or panning. The optical design achieves exceptional barycentric stability to minimise image shifts during zooming. The AF tracking performance in zooming is also improved thanks to high-speed frame analysis for focus control.

Allowing an attachment of a filter (67mm) such as ND or PL, this lens provides various expression in both photos and videos.

21 elements in 15 groups:

- 2 aspherical lenses
- 2 Ultra Extra-Low Dispersion lenses
- 2 Extra-Low Dispersion lenses
- 1 Ultra High Refractive Index lens

Aspherical (ASPH) lenses reduce size and weight and prevent spherical and distortion aberration. Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) and Ultra Extra-Low Dispersion (UED) lenses correct chromatic aberration, rendering sharp, high-contrast images with clear colours from corner to corner. Ultra-High Refractive Index (UHR) improves optical performance, reduces size and weight, and achieves uniform image quality from the centre to the edges of the image.

* Dual I.S. can be used with LUMIX GX9, GX8 and GX80/85.

** Dual I.S.2 can be used with LUMIX G9, GH5, G80/G81/G85.

*** The lens supports this feature in conjunction with splash/dust/freezeproof LUMIX cameras. ‘Splash Proof’ is a term used to describe an extra level of protection this lens offers against exposure to a minimal amount of moisture, water or dust. ‘Splash Proof does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this lens is subjected to direct contact with water.
