LEICA DG Lens – Ultimate Optics
The LEICA ES200 DG Lens provides the ultimate optical quality and performance. Enjoy brilliant, edge-to-edge clarity and prevent distortions of all kinds to assure precise, sharp picture rendering.
POWER O.I.S. – ultra-sharp photos
LUMIX MEGA Optical image stabilization (O.I.S.) compensates for large camera shake and vibrations to capture sharp, blur-free contours across the entire picture without a tripod.
Nano Surface Coating
End unwanted ghosting and flaring with Panasonic’s Nano Surface Coating. This special, ultra-thin coating reduces bothersome reflections across the entire light spectrum.
Quality
Excellent edge to edge sharpness for high quality zoom photography. For lenses that are capable of compensating distortion, the horizontal axis of the MTF shows the distance from the center of the corrected image.
