Panasonic LUMIX G Leica DG Vario-Summilux 25-50mm f/1.7 Aspherical Lens for Micro Four Thirds, Bundle with Tiffen 77mm UV and CPL Filters

A pinnacle of optical engineering, the Panasonic LUMIX LEICA DG VARIO-SUMMILUX 25-50mm / F 1.7 ASPH. H-X2550 lens is a versatile and high-performing addition to any photographer's or videographer's gear collection. Designed exclusively for mirrorless Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount cameras, this lens boasts a constant F 1.7 aperture, ensuring exceptional brightness across the entire zoom range of 25-50mm, which is equivalent to 50-100mm on a 35mm camera. This feature is particularly beneficial for those looking to achieve a shallow depth of field and beautiful bokeh effects in their images. The lens's construction is comprised of 17 elements in 12 groups, including three aspherical lenses and four ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses.

These specialized elements work in concert to effectively minimize both axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration of magnification. Aspherical lenses also play a crucial role in correcting spherical aberration and distortion, resulting in images with stunningly high resolution and clarity. Despite its advanced optics, the lens maintains a compact size and light weight due to the thoughtful design and use of aspherical lenses. This makes it an ideal choice for photographers and videographers who require professional-grade equipment without the burden of excessive weight. The lens supports a maximum 240-fps high-speed sensor drive, which translates to high-speed, high-precision autofocus performance.

This is essential for capturing sharp images in dynamic shooting situations. The inner focus drive system ensures silent operation, making it suitable for video recording where microphone sensitivity is critical. Further enhancing its video capabilities, the lens features a stepless aperture ring and a micro-step drive system in the aperture control section, which allows for smooth transitions in brightness during zooming or panning shots. The optical design also ensures exceptional barycentric stability, minimizing image shifts throughout the zoom range. For manual focus enthusiasts, the lens is equipped with a tactile focus ring that allows for intuitive and precise adjustments.

Users can switch between linear and non-linear focus settings via this ring, tailoring the focusing behavior to their specific needs and preferences. This bundle enhances the lens's functionality with the inclusion of a Hoya 77mm UV+CPL Filter Kit, which protects the lens from harmful UV rays and reduces glare, as well as a Cleaning Kit to ensure your lens remains in pristine condition. Whether for professional applications or passionate hobbyists, the Lumix G Leica DG Vario-Summilux 25-50mm f/ 1.7 Aspherical Lens bundled with essential accessories is a comprehensive solution for high-quality imaging.
