Nano Surface Coating – clarity from all angles
Put an end to unwanted ghosting and flaring – the Nano Surface Coating has been applied to lenses within the system. This special, ultra-thin coating was developed originally by Panasonic to reduce bothersome reflections across the entire light spectrum. The result: crystal-clear pictures even if you’re photographing a light source in the dark.
POWER O.I.S – Ultra-Sharp Photos
Capture scenes carefree or at the spur of the moment. The optical image stabilisation (O.I.S) technology built directly into the lens ensures your photos will look great, with sharpe blue-free contours across the entire picture.
Taking highly popular MEGA O.I.S further, this advanced technology immediately compensates even large camera shake and vibrations that may occur in photography. So you can capture true-to-life scenes without the need for a tripod. In the end, you’ll enjoy wonderfully crips images.
Dust, splash and freeze-resistant design
LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT 12-60mm / F2.8-4.0 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S. is designed to keep shooting in the toughest condition including temperatures as low as -10C. Dust and splash resistant construction means it is ready for any adventure. ･Dust and Splash Resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this lens is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.
Ideal for video recording
The lens offers fast, accurate autofocus and smooth aperture changes, critical for the modern content creator, allowing you to record beautiful 4K video and stills without disturbing your subject.
Lens construction
14 elements in 12 groups
- 4 aspherical lenses
- 2 Extra-Low Dispersion lenses
Aspherical (ASPH) lenses reduce size and weight, effectively preventing spherical and distortion aberration.
Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) lenses correct chromatic aberration rendering sharp, high-contract images with clear colours from corner to corner.
