Wide zoom for Micro Four Thirds
The Lumix G Vario 7-14mm f/4 ASPH. is a versatile wide-angle zoom lens designed for Micro Four Thirds camera systems. It covers a 14-28mm equivalent focal length in 35mm terms, making it well-suited for landscape, nature, and architectural photography. The constant f/4 maximum aperture provides consistent illumination across the entire zoom range.
Constant f/4 aperture throughout zoom
The defining specification is the fixed f/4 maximum aperture that remains unchanged from 7mm to 14mm. This allows consistent exposure settings and depth of field control while zooming, which is critical for wide-angle work where aperture shifts can disrupt composition. The aperture range extends to f/22 for extended depth of field when needed.
Optical corrections maintain sharpness
The lens uses four extra-low dispersion elements and two aspherical elements to control aberrations and colour fringing across the frame. Multi-coated surfaces suppress flare and ghosting, while the built-in petal-shaped hood blocks stray light to preserve contrast. A rounded 7-blade diaphragm produces smooth out-of-focus rendering, and autofocus with manual focus override allows precise adjustments during sustained shooting sessions.

Questions about this item
What does the 14-28mm equivalent focal length mean on my Micro Four Thirds body?
On a Micro Four Thirds camera the 7-14mm zoom gives a 14-28mm equivalent field of view, covering ultra-wide to wide perspectives for landscapes and interiors.
How does the constant f/4 aperture affect exposure when I zoom?
The maximum aperture stays at f/4 across the entire zoom range, so exposure settings remain consistent whether you are at 7mm or 14mm.
Will the built-in petal hood interfere with screw-in filters?
The petal-shaped hood is integrated into the lens barrel and cannot be removed, so standard screw-in filters cannot be attached to the front element.
