Default Panasonic launches 12-35mm Micro Four Thirds lens with constant f/2.8 aperture

Panasonic Introduces New Micro Four Thirds Digital Interchangeable
Lens

Panasonic's Premium LUMIX G X VARIO 12-35mm Lens Offers Exceptional
Design, Achieving Increased Functionality for Spectacular Image
Quality

SECAUCUS, NJ (May 21, 2012) – Today, Panasonic announced a new digital
interchangeable standard zoom lens, the LUMIX G X VARIO 12-35mm/F2.8
ASPH./POWER O.I.S. (H-HS12035). The newest addition to the company's
premium lens brand "X," which is compatible with the
Panasonic LUMIX G Series and complies with the Micro Four Thirds™
system standard, this lens offers a versatile zoom range of 12-35mm
(35mm camera equivalent: 24-70mm) and features constant F2.8 aperture
brightness at entire zoom range. Suitable for professionals and
enthusiasts capturing a wide range of scenes from dynamic landscapes
to available light and studio-lit portraits, this new lens features
superb image rendering for lifelike textures and crisp edge-to-edge
contrast.

The LUMIX G X VARIO 12-35mm/F2.8 ASPH./POWER O.I.S. lens incorporates
Panasonic's unique Nano Surface Coating technology which minimizes
reflections at entire visual range (380nm-780nm), resulting in a
dramatic reduction of ghosts and flare for extremely clear picture
quality. The lens's newly integrated POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image
Stabilizer) effectively compensates for both small, fast movement and
large, slow movement, making it easy to shoot extremely clear photos
even in low-lit situations such as at night or indoors.

Boasting outstanding compactness, the LUMIX G X VARIO 12-35mm/F2.8
ASPH./POWER O.I.S. lens is approximately 73.8mm in length and 10.76oz
in weight, resulting in extreme mobility. Additionally with a rubber
ring on the lens mount, the new lens is designed to stand up against
splash and dust making it ideal for outdoor photography enthusiasts. A
highly-reliable metal mount endures longtime use.

The LUMIX G X VARIO 12-35mm/F2.8 ASPH./POWER O.I.S. lens system is
comprised of 14 lenses in nine groups. The UED (Ultra Extra-Low
Dispersion) lens minimizes chromatic aberration while the UHR (Ultra
High Reflective) lens realizes high descriptive performance from
corner to corner. Featuring high contrast and resolution from the
center to corner at entire zoom range, the new LUMIX G X VARIO
12-35mm/F2.8 ASPH./POWER O.I.S. lens has the ability to capture the
details of scenery or portrait with rich perspective.

The lens' superior inner focus system provides for excellent
resolution and contrast without changing the overall length from full
life-size magnification to infinity. Seven blades give the aperture a
rounded shape that produces an attractively smooth defocus effect in
out-of-focus areas when shooting at larger aperture settings. Adopting
an inner focus system driven by a stepping motor, the lens's superior
design provides smooth and near silent focusing action which is ideal
for both picture and video recording. When the lens is mounted on any
LUMIX G Micro System camera body, users can take advantage of the
high-speed, high-precisions Contrast AF (Autofocus) system.
