As the world's first Leica lens designed specifically for the Micro Four Thirds system, it boasts a compact form factor without compromising on the exceptional image quality synonymous with the Leica brand. This lens is a true work of optical artistry, featuring an advanced aspherical lens element and an Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) lens that work in harmony to reduce chromatic aberration and distortion across the entire image.

The sophisticated optical design includes fourteen lenses in ten groups, ensuring that each shot you take is sharp, clear, and true to life. With an equivalent focal length of 90mm on a 35mm film camera, the Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm f/ 2.8 lens excels in a variety of photographic situations. Whether you're capturing the intricate details of a flower in macro photography or the nuanced expressions of a portrait subject, this lens delivers reliable and durable performance. Panasonic's MEGA Optical Image Stabilization (O. I. S. ) is a standout feature, effectively reducing the blur caused by camera shake.

This technology is particularly beneficial for handheld macro photography, allowing you to achieve crisp images even in challenging lighting conditions without the need for a tripod. The lens's inner focus motor system is engineered for smooth and silent operation, making it an excellent choice for both still photography and video recording. The versatility of this lens is further enhanced by its ability to switch the minimum focus distance from 150mm to 500mm with a simple flip of a switch on the lens barrel, providing flexibility for close-up work or when more reach is needed.

Boasting a seven-blade circular aperture, the lens creates a beautifully smooth bokeh effect, adding an artistic touch to your images with a pleasing background blur. The robust metal mount underscores the lens's durability, while the multi-coated lens elements minimize glare and maximize optical performance. Compatible with a wide range of Panasonic Lumix G Series Micro Four Thirds cameras, the Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm f/ 2.8 lens supports the advanced contrast Auto Focus (AF) system, including Panasonic's Face Recognition functions, ensuring that your subjects are captured with precision and clarity.
