## Description

Panasonic LUMIX Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds camera lenses deliver a no-compromise approach to optical performance for modern interchangeable camera enthusiasts and professionals. As an optical partner of legendary LEICA Lenses, Panasonic LUMIX Professional Camera Lens LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT H-ES12060 features Panasonic’s Nano Surface Coating to reduce bothersome reflections across the entire light spectrum for the highest standards of detail and sharpness. Built for the outdoors, this professional grade metal body lens features a splash / dustproof design when mounted on a compatible LUMIX G Mirrorless camera. Featuring Power O.I.S. optical image stabilization compatibility with 5-Axis Dual I.S. 2.0 (Image Stabilization), you'll shoot with unprecedented hand-held stability across both video and still. For added versatile high performance, this standard zoom lens offers a F2.8-4.0 ASPH and focal length of 12-60mm (35mm camera equivalent: 24-120mm) to render everything clearly, from corner to corner. What’s more, the stunning AF performance of this lens records excellent 4K video where precise focusing is essential. Make the switch from bulky DSLRs to the smaller, lighter, more compact Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds system cameras and lenses from Panasonic LUMIX.

Review: Great lens but better bought as part of a total package - This is a fantastic, but expensive lens at about £800. If you are in the market for a new camera as well it makes much more sense to get this included. Eg I have just bought a new G9 camera and this was included as the kit lens. Taking into account the camera body only price made this lens cost £260. Or looking the other way around the camera body as well cost £400 instead of nearly £1000!
Review: From an Olympus 12-40 f2.8 owner - It's three weeks that I bought this lens. The first sample was a kind of disappointment as it was soft both at 12mm and 60mm full open, lacking micro contrast throughout the focal length. Then I swapped it for a fresh copy at the shop I bought it from and results have dramatically changed. On a pixel peep basis, the PanaLeica 12-60 is just a hair less sharp than the Olympus. Contrast and acuity though are excellent. As for the PanaLeica I haven't noticed any difference between 12mm at f2.8 and f4. Handling is superb, the lens is a pleasure to use with little-to-no flare/ghost. The difference of focal length between the PanaLeica and the Oly makes the rest: this lens won't any longer be detached from my Panasonic G80. It is that good with a perfect FL for all day used. Bokeh is smooth and pleasant. The Oly remains an exceptionally good lens and I clearly would have kept it had I bought the Oly 40-150 f2.8 to complement it, but compactness and quality is all micro 43 should be about. That's why I'm very, very pleased I swapped it for the PanaLeica. If you buy it and are not happy, tried a new copy. This little lens is absolutely a jewel.
