Panasonic Leica DG Elmarit 200mm F2.8 Power O.I.S.

This is a prime lens for Micro Four Thirds, covering 200 mm (400 mm equivalent) and a maximum aperture of f/2.8. Released in 2017, it weighs 1245 g, is weather-sealed and includes optical stabilization. That combination suits wildlife and sports photography.

It is a high-performance telephoto prime lens designed for Micro Four Thirds cameras, providing a 400mm equivalent focal length. Its bright f/2.8 maximum aperture allows for excellent low-light performance and depth of field control. The lens features an advanced optical design with Ultra Extra-Low Dispersion elements to minimize chromatic aberrations and deliver sharp, high-contrast images. Power Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.) compensates for camera shake, ensuring sharper handheld shots. The lens's robust, weather-sealed construction makes it suitable for use in challenging environmental conditions.
