For this model, Spanning a convenient 70-200mm equivalent focal length range, the redesigned Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 35-100mm f/2.8 POWER O.I.S. Lens from Panasonic is a telephoto zoom developed according to Leica's strict quality standards for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. Working in conjunction with the versatile portrait-length to telephoto focal length range is a constant f/2.8 highest aperture that handles varied lighting while giving notable control of depth of field. A pair of extra-low dispersion elements and one ultra extra-low dispersion element are featured inside the optical configuration to lower fringing and chromatic aberrations, and an anti-reflective coating inside the lens barrel has been added to the original Nano Surface Coating that has additionally been applied to suppress ghosting and flare even under strong light sources. Complementing the enhanced optical configuration, this lens additionally incorporates a POWER Optical Picture Stabilizer, which is compatible with Dual I.S., and a linear autofocus motor that provides quick, quiet, and near silent focusing performance to suit footage and stills applications. Additionally, this 35-100mm lens additionally sports a dust, splash, and freezeproof physical configuration to permit working in trying environmental conditions.
