Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 12-60mm f/2.8-4
This Micro Four Thirds lens provides a 24-120mm equivalent zoom range in a compact, weather-resistant body. It features four aspherical and two extra-low dispersion elements to minimise aberrations across the range. A high-speed linear motor delivers fast, quiet autofocus for both stills and video capture. The built-in POWER O.I.S. works with compatible Lumix G bodies for Dual I.S. stabilisation.
Suited to Micro Four Thirds shooters wanting one
The constant f/2.8 aperture at wide angle suits low-light interiors and environmental portraits. Videographers benefit from silent focusing and effective optical stabilisation for handheld work. Photographers needing a wider maximum aperture throughout the zoom range or a longer telephoto reach should consider alternative lenses.
Covers 24mm wide-angle to 120mm portrait telephoto
The f/2.8-4 aperture range provides consistent exposure control across the zoom, stopping down to f/22 for deep depth of field. Aspherical and extra-low dispersion elements maintain sharpness and contrast from centre to edge. At the long end, the maximum aperture narrows to f/4, limiting shallow depth-of-field options compared to faster telephoto primes.

Questions about this item
Which camera mount does this 12-60mm lens require to function?
It requires a Micro Four Thirds camera body to attach and operate.
Will the POWER O.I.S. stabilisation work with my older Lumix G camera that also has in-body stabilisation?
Yes, the lens O.I.S. is designed to complement Dual I.S. on compatible Lumix G bodies for combined shake reduction.
How can I verify the aperture is stopping down correctly after mounting the lens?
Set the camera to aperture-priority mode, select f/22 and watch the blades close through the front element or via live view depth-of-field preview.
