Lens Description

The Panasonic Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm F/2.8 ASPH OIS is a short telephoto prime designed for cameras with a Four-Thirds (2X) sensor. This bright prime has a 45mm focal-length. It provides the same field of view as a 90mm lens on a Full-Frame camera. An optical Image Stabilization System built into this lens compensates for camera shake.

This prime can focus down to 15cm from the imaging plane which gives it a maximum magnification of 1X. The lens offers a Quick-Shift AF system which lets the user simply rotate the focus-ring to focus manually. A built-in focus motor is used to set the focus-distance. It allowed Panasonic to optimize the motor precisely for this lens in order to maximize performance.

This lens is only available for Micro Four-Thirds. It directly attaches and is fully compatible with all Micro Four-Thirds mount cameras.
