Panasonic Leica DG Vario Elmarit 8-18mm f2.8-4.0 customer return

Fast ultra wide-angle Zoom: With its focal length range from 16 mm ultra-wide to 36 mm, the Zoom of the Leica DG Vario-Elmarit F2.8-4.0 series offers a particularly dynamic focal length range. Its rugged dust- and splash-proof construction is also frost-proof down to -10 degrees Celsius. The housing and bayonet are made of metal. This makes it ideal for landscapes, architecture and available light photography.

LEICA DG lens - for highest demands: Choose a LEICA DG lens with ultimate optical quality and performance. Naturally, the lenses meet the strict quality standards of Leica Camera AG. Thanks to the sophisticated technology that goes into these lenses, your photos will be razor-sharp even in the peripheral areas. At the same time, distortions of all kinds that are common in wide-angle photography are avoided, so that images can be reproduced with precision and detail. These are optimal conditions for first-class images without reflections and scattering losses.

Nano surface coating - clarity without light reflections: Minimize unwanted light reflections - thanks to Nano Surface Coating. This special, ultra-thin coating was developed by Panasonic to reduce annoying light reflections across the entire range of the light spectrum. The result is crystal clear images, even when shooting light sources in the dark.

Optimized for perfect video recording: Many LUMIX G lenses are optimized for video recording. In addition to the problem-free changing of the aperture setting, without sudden exposure changes, the silent Zooming and focusing is particularly convincing, for optimal audio recordings.

Splash/dust/cold protection - limitless creativity: brave the elements in virtually any weather or shooting situation. This splash/dust/cold-proof lens is rugged enough to withstand the toughest outdoor shooting conditions. The lens system inside is protected from sand, rain and other elements, making it ideal for shooting in adverse conditions. Now nothing stands between you and the creative shots you desire.

15 lenses in 10 groups

• 1 aspherical ED lens
• 3 aspherical lenses
• 2 ED lenses
• 1 UHR lens with a particularly high refractive index

The ASPH ED lens (aspherical lens with extra-low dispersion) offers high resolution and high contrast in all image areas with less size and weight. The ASPH lenses also reduce size and weight, effectively preventing aberrations and noise.

ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) lens corrects chromatic aberration and enables sharp images with high contrast and clear colors throughout the image.

UHR (Ultra High Refractive Index) lenses improve optical performance, reduce size and weight, and achieve consistent image quality from image center to edge.
