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

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.

optical image stabiliser, and has an iris diaphragm with rounded blades which give the aperture a rounded shape. For travel purposes I don't often NEED to go beyond 100mm, and it's lightness and compactness make it a great travel lens. I know it would not be as small if it was a constant f4 but for me i would be happy for the slight increase in size for the slight increase in speed. The zoom ring opens the lens into shooting position, and is well damped for zooming through the focal range.

This special, ultra-thin coating was developed originally by Panasonic to reduce bothersome reflections across the entire light spectrum. There is no distance scale and no focus limiter, although there is a handy image stabilisation switch for the Power O. Here fringing exceeds a pixel width, which may become visible along high contrast edges if images are printed at large sizes, or harsh crops are taken from the edges of the frame.

The fraction shows how many portions of the number there are, in relation to how many would make up the whole. 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. For the ''VFA'' target (the viewfinder accuracy target from Imaging Resource), we also provide sample crops from the center and upper-left corner of each shot, so you can quickly get a sense of relative sharpness, without having to download and inspect the full-res images. 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.

Like many stabilizer systems for Micro 4/3, you do need to watch when using the optical stabilizer at speeds around 1/60s, as it can be prone to some blurring due to shutter shock around that speed.

Featuring a linear AF motor that drives a faster, smoother and silent autofocus – delivering a brilliant 4K video performance.

In this case we see corners which are a half-stop darker than the center; at any other setting, corner shading is negligible. Finance is only available to permanent UK residents aged between 18 and 80, subject to status, terms and conditions apply.The lens provides excellent results for chromatic aberration: in-camera correction has taken away any color shifts, turning any aberration into slight reduction in sharpness. The only area of concern for the lens when it comes to corner shading is at the 35mm focal length when the lens is used wide open at ƒ/4. Unfortunately, they are no as well controlled at 100mm when shooting at the slower end of the aperture range. An inner focus drive system and stepping motor for smooth, silent operation to work with the camera's high-speed, high-precision Contrast AF system for both photo and video recording.
