Panasonic H-HSA35100 F2.8 II ASPH 35-100mm Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds Mount POWER Optical I.S. LUMIX G X VARIO Professional Lens

Product Information

Thanks to its compact, high-quality design, this lens is the perfect companion to bring on your travels.

ASPH lens, Panasonic have employed an iris diaphragm with seven rounded blades, which has resulted in nice bokeh in our view. Allows high-speed shutter release, and provides beautiful defocus effect in portrait or close-up shots. This low level of distortion should rarely require correction, but if it does, the distortion pattern is uniform across the frame throughout the zoom range, which should make applying corrections in image editing software afterwards, relatively straightforward. Featuring a splash, dust and freezeproof design* that protects the lens internally from sand, rain and more which makes it ideal for shooting in harsher conditions.PS I note the 35-100 is in bright white … was the 35-100 in the first version in a slightly yellowy white? I put the 12-32 onto the GX7 and the 30-100 onto the GX8 or vice versa when I want to avoid lens changing. For example, if we look at the percentage 25%, that means we have 25 portions of the possible 100 portions. I can see why this lens, the 12-32mm, a fast prime and a tiny camera body like the Panasonic GM5 is a perfect walk around camera kit.

The small size of this lens should make it perfect for use with even the most compact Micro Four Thirds bodies, such as the Panasonic Lumix GM5, and it also feels right at home on the Panasonic Lumix GX7 used for testing.

Bokeh is a word used for the out-of-focus areas of a photograph, and is usually described in qualitative terms, such as smooth / creamy / harsh etc. To avoid space limitations with the layout of our review pages, indexes to the test shots launch in separate windows.

Apochromatic lenses have special lens elements (aspheric, extra-low dispersion etc) to minimize the problem, hence they usually cost more.In addition to the silent operation, the smooth zoom operation allows for change of focal length with ease without compromising the situation and lighting. Hi, when I want to travel light, I use the lens combination mentioned in this review – Olympus 9-18mm, Panasonic pancake zoom 12-32mm and 35-100mm f/4-5.
