The Panasonic Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm f/ 2.8 ASPH. MEGA O. I. S. lens is a short-telephoto prime lens designed for Micro Four Thirds cameras, providing a 90mm equivalent focal length. It's optimized for macro photography, offering a maximum magnification of 1:1 for life-size rendering of small subjects. With a minimum focusing distance of just 5.9", this lens is perfect for capturing fine details and intricate textures in nature, product photography, or any close-up subject matter. The lens's optical design, developed in collaboration with Leica, features one extra-low dispersion element to combat chromatic aberrations and one aspherical element to reduce spherical distortion.
These elements work together to deliver high sharpness, clarity, and precise color rendering, even when working at close distances. Multi-coated lens elements help to minimize flare and ghosting, ensuring high contrast and clarity even under challenging lighting conditions. For enhanced usability, the Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm lens incorporates an internal focusing mechanism that maintains the lens's overall length during use. This helps to improve focusing speed and responsiveness, especially when working with moving subjects. The floating elements system ensures consistently sharp images across the entire focusing range, from close-up subjects to distant objects.
Additionally, the lens includes a focus limit switch to restrict the focusing range, which can significantly speed up focusing when shooting distant subjects. MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (O. I. S. ) is another standout feature of this lens. It compensates for camera shake, making handheld shooting easier and more effective, especially when using slower shutter speeds in low light.
