Product Information
Suitable for shooting landscape and portrait photos, the Panasonic LUMIX G X VARIO 12-35mm F/2.8 APH OIS lens features a wide-angle view certain to produce outstanding images when connected to your DSLR. Its focusing distance is adjustable to help zoom on distant or near objects. With nine groups fitted with 14 elements and a micro 4/3 mount system, aberrations are significantly reduced. This Panasonic LUMIX zoom lens has a remarkable reproduction ratio set to produce sleek and clear photos of small objects regardless of the light conditions. Diaphragm blades are wide and the amount of light is controlled effectively to deliver stunning photographs. An aperture of f/2.8 ensures that shots of vibrant outdoor photos are always accurate. Compatible with a variety of cameras, this digital interchangeable lens is suitable for both professionals and amateurs. Despite its metal barrel, the lens weighs less than 12 ounces. The circular aperture diaphragm also ensures that anyone can take professional-grade photos with ease. Panasonic LUMIX G X Vario 12-35mm is a fast standard zoom lens based on the revolutionary Micro Four Thirds system known for its image stabilization capabilities. The ease of use is evident from its light weight, which covers a 35mm equivalent focal range of 24-70mm. When extended to its maximum zoom setting of 70mm, the overall lens length is just 10cm. The lens hood will take an extra 3cm to help prevent flare. This LUMIX lens also offers resistance to mild environmental hazards like splashes and dust thanks to a rubber seal around the lens mount, which comes in handy on tough shooting expeditions. Users will notice the silent linear stepper motor, which is fast and accurate for high-profile photography. The manual by-wire focus also provides a refined experience as there is no delay in the focus feedback. In addition, the optical image stabilizer helps gain an equivalent stop of three f-stops. At 35mm, it offers a very clear and sharp image in the center and around the corner. However, it also means that users are likely to get high resolution and high contrast from f2.8 and other focal lengths. Regarding MTF resolution, the low field curvature is particularly helpful as you don't need to work on borders. It provides exceptional results for still photography and video recording. The nano surface coating and specially treated glass on these lenses helps to reduce glare, flash, and ghosting in sensitive environments. Likewise, chromatic aberrations are minimized using an ultra high refractive glass. These aspects make the Panasonic G X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 Power O.I.S. Aspherical AF NCS Lens effective for providing both the true wide angle shot and short telephoto focal length. This Panasonic lens comes with a lot of protective gear and accessories which include a front cap, rear cap, lens hood, and lens storage bag. Overall, Panasonic LUMIX G X ASPH 12-35mm f/2.8 Power O.I.S. Aspherical AF NCS Lens is a versatile camera for outdoor and indoor settings. It can deliver f/2.8 brightness over the entire zoom range. A high-quality plastic frame and dependable mechanical design makes these lenses a practical choice for photographers.Product Identifiers

Image and build quality
I use it with shooting video on Lumix GH4. It is a very good lens in terms of build quality (with some notices), image quality and optical stabilization. Sharp image makes it plenty for DMC-GH4 detailed picture. Wide open f2.8 aperture allows to blur out background in pretty good amount. Also I don't see any chromatic aberration. Focusing and zoom rings are pretty smooth. It is no problem with manual focusing on this lens if you have some skill (and camera focus peaking). For me first lens disadvantage is the thin rubber water resist ring on the back side. Strong rain drops are penetrate deep into camera. Second (and not so important for me) is non-parfocal lens. Very good choice for this price.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Nice, fast, sharp & lightweight.
This lens compliments the Panasonic GH series quite well. I shoot video with the Panasonic Lumix GH3 and this 12-25mm lens is a great lens to own. It's compact in size and has a very durable build to it. Both the zoom and focus rings are extremely smooth. With a built in OIS (image stabilizer), handheld shooting delivers an incredible steady shot (within reason of course). I discovered the secret ingredient to achieving such a clean and crisp image with this lens paired with the GH3 is as follows: (With good to excellent lighting) In Video Mode: 1. Set the camera (GH3) to "High" iDynamic and "High" iResolution 2. Set the image profile to "Standard" using -5 contrast, -2 sharpness, 0 saturation, -5 noise reduction 3. Use a f/2.8 aperture 4. Use aperture priority in menu selection (camera will auto set shutter speed and ISO) in good lighting the auto ISO settings work great. I typically shoot 24p 72Mbps ALL-INTRA MOV But I suggest you use your discretion as to the Recording Quality that appeals to you best for your needs. ***Please note that these settings work best when shooting people at a close to reasonable distance. These settings yield a very sharp/crisp image and shooting too far away from the subject will lead to unwanted aliasing and moire effects. If you are looking for a less sharpened image, i suggest not using the "High" iDyanmic & "High" iResolution settings. Or, use color grading techniques that will soften the image in post production if you use the "High" settings. All in all, this lens is great for videos and photos. I recommend you own this lens if you have a GH series camera.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great All around Lens! Could be better with the f stop limitation.
The range is perfect for m43 format, and the f/2.8 aperture helps is lower light setups. The image is clean, no obvious visible chromatic aberrations. The lens maintains a great geometry throughout the range. Pretty good for video too, it focuses really fast and the zoom range associated with the crop factor makes it an excellent lens for handheld operations. The bonus is the OIS, it does help smooth out micro shakes. Improvements: I wish Panasonic and Olympus could be a bit more up to date with people's needs. An f/1.8 or f/1.4 constant aperture, parfocal zoom lens with OIS is what most dslr videographers and event photographers would call an amazing and versatile low light lens.. Until the day when Panasonic and Olympus would rival 5D MKIII and an at least 10% or The A7s usable high iso range there will always be a group of unhappy M43 users... 12-35mm f1.8 with OIS would have been greater than any of the lenses Panasonic and Olympus have been providing to their loyal customer at heavy prices. If sigma can do it, why can't they?Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great Lens
I have been using this Lens for 2 months and I found that it is comparable to my P25, better than P14 prime Lens. It is more flexible than the P25. I don't have to change lens often, especially on a trip when luggage weight is also a consideration. This lens provide better color rendition than P14. It is very sharp, and waterproof, a Pro Lens class. It may be sharper than the P25 when OIS come into play, reduce handshake and which is vital for low light condition. The lens flare issue doesn't border me, and I found that it is an advantage for night scene.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great lens and great value
I think getting this lens used is really s great deal. You can get one on eBay for around $500-$600 which is not much more than certain prime lenses within the focal length range of this lens--and you get a zoom with ois . True you don't get f1.7 but I think thats a decent trade off. Image quality is great. I think this is a really good upgrade to the kit lens.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Wow! Great lens with nice range. Sharp!
I have Panasonic GX7 and multiple prime lenses: 14mm, 20mm, 25mm, 35mm, 75mm. Also have 14 to 140 zoom and standard 14-50 and 50-150. This lens is awesome and has essentially taken over all my primes. Sharp and great aperture with constant f2.8. Weather sealed and rugged. Now I just need to upgrade to gx8 to match.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

totally worth it
its just money!!! the clarity is great and the build quality is awesome i would totally recommend the lens i have some pics taken with this lens on a gx-85 lumix body its great in low light probably just a step below the fixed focal length lenses only because of the 2.8 fstop is the lowest it will go where as my 25mm lumix lens will go down to 1.8 f stop and this is only for low light shooting

Superb!
Such a good all around lens. Was using the Olympus 12-50mm prior to this and had a decent copy. Was pretty happy with it. Purchased a Panasonic GX8 a bit ago and was having purple cast issues with the 12-50mm, so I decided it was time to upgrade to the Panasonic 12-35mm f2.8.. wow, it was a much bigger step up in clarity, sharpness and color rendition than I expected. It took my GX8 to another level on image quality. Superb lens! Lens is a no brainer on Panasonic bodies.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Must-have lens for MFT Panasonic camera
With this little glass you can almost forget about all the other lens if you are on the run. 1. Good sharpness for zoom lens 2. Wide enough for most shots 3. Descent low light performance. Not the best but can handle low light situations. 4. Good image stabilization 5. Acceptable bokeh for portraits All of these makes it a perfect travel lens. It lacks only telephoto capability but it's obvious that in this case it would loose all its advantages like sharpness. Highly recommended as the main and most versatile glass.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

wonderful!
I use this lens on my Lumix GX8 and I rarely use any other lenses. The image and color is great and it is very easy to use and as with most m 4/3 lenses, it is quite compact as well as light. I would highly recommend it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
