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

The zoom ring opens the lens into shooting position, and is well damped for zooming through the focal range.

Panasonic have incorporated 18 elements in 13 groups, including two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses and one UED (Ultra Extra-low Dispersion) lens element. I think that what has always stopped me with the 35-100 vs the 40-150 is that you seem to get a lot more bang-for-the-size with the 40-150. net, at this aperture, focal length and distance, the "acceptable sharpness" extends more than 10" both in front of and behind the focal point. The operation ensures aperture changes are smooth when recording so there are no unnecessary jumps in exposure and silent operation for optimum audio quality.

I want to film spectacles with a telephoto (to follow actors in close up), so I would need some lenses like the 14-140 or the 35-100 f2. 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. optical image stabiliser, and has an iris diaphragm with rounded blades which give the aperture a rounded shape. At the 35mm end of the zoom range, the lens has a diagonal angle of view of 34°, equivalent to that of a 70mm lens in a 35mm system. 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.

You can get cheap new versions from dealers that split up kit packs that sell a body with 2 zooms as 3 items – so this can undercut the cost of the 45-150 a lot. As a parent, you hope your child is extremely successful and likely become the next Gates, Zuckerberg, or Meg Whitman. Optical Image Stabiliser) effectively compensates for hand-shake movement making it easy to capture images clearly even if they are shot with small aperture.is a decently sharp lens: our copy showed a slight amount of de-centering, but not so much as to get excited about. ASPH lens, Panasonic have employed an iris diaphragm with seven rounded blades, which has resulted in nice bokeh in our view. Providing a classic focal range of 70-200mm in 35mm terms, the 35-100mm lens is both compact and lightweight. I used to own a 45-175mm lens but it hardly got any use and it was rather large (compared to my other lenses) so i sold it. I also tested this lens, and many other M4/3 optics, on an Olympus E-M5 Mark II in its 9216-pixel high-resolution RAW mode, processed with DXO 10.

When using the lens in the widest apertures, we note excellent image sharpness mostly across the frame: at the wider angles we note a slight amount of corner softness, which is mitigated as the lens is stopped down. Quality mid range telephoto zoom lens designed for digital cameras with the Micro Four Thirds System lens mount, such as the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80, GX8 and GH5 models.In addition to the silent operation achieved by the inner focus drive system, the micro-step drive system in the aperture control section helps the camera to smoothly capture the brightness changes when zooming or panning. Lumix G X Vario is a compact, Micro Four-Thirds-format telephoto zoom lens that provides an equivalent field of view of 70-200mm (in 35mm film terms). It employs a mechanism similar to other Micro Four-Thirds lenses which allows the lens to retract for storage, and must be extended prior to use. This telephoto zoom lens for Micro Four Thirds (MFT) system cameras sports a collapsible design, to reduce its size when not in use. By default it’ll shut off the OIS and use the IBIS (and I’d suggest leaving it that way…with most lenses, the Oly’s excellent IBIS is superior to the OIS on almost all Panasonic lenses.

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. There is no distance scale and no focus limiter, although there is a handy image stabilisation switch for the Power O. Take a look at our sample photos to see the effect, prominent mostly in the corners and on areas of high contrast. We shoot both images using the default JPEG settings and manual white balance of our test bodies, so the images should be quite consistent from lens to lens. even though it costs more and does not have quite the reach, but I didn’t know how the Olympus body would handle that OIS.London Camera Exchange Limited, London Camera Exchange Solent Limited and London Camera Exchange Portsmouth Limited are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, register numbers 742719, 761264, 789602 and act as a credit broker and not a lender.
