Panasonic 7-14mm f/4 - $1149 - in stock
Disply model for in store testing
AF100 Note: Works natively with the AF 100. No Adapter required. Auto-focus and Iris/Aperture all work properly.
Taking advantage of its wide, 114-degree angle of view, users can easily
fit subjects into the frame even when shooting indoors where the distance
is limited. The world looks extraordinary when viewed through the new
lens, allowing photos and movies to be recorded with a uniquely rich perspective.
This high-performance lens system achieves outstanding compactness by combining
16 lens elements in 12 groups, including two aspherical lenses and four ED lenses.
Image resolution is high from corner-to-corner even at the wide-angle setting.
It also features F4.0 brightness over the entire zoom range thanks to its large-diameter
glass molded lens elements.
When mounted on the DMC-GH1 Lumix G Micro System Camera, the new lens allows
use of the advanced contrast AF system, which includes a Face Recognition function,
for more convenient, more enjoyable shooting. Seven blades give the aperture
a rounded shape that produces an attractively smooth effect in out-of-focus areas
when shooting at larger aperture settings.
The Lumix G Vario 7-14mm/F4.0 ASPH. lens also features a highly reliable metal
mount, and uses multi-coated lens elements that minimize ghosts and flare to
further enhance its optical performance. The optimally designed lens hood enables
use even under strong sunlight.
