Panasonic Lumix G Vario
Delivering a 114-degree angle of view with a constant F4.0 aperture, this 300g lens provides an ultra-wide 14-28mm equivalent focal length in a compact, multi-coated optical design. Its metal mount and inclusion of four ED lenses ensure high corner-to-corner resolution while minimizing ghosting and flare. This lens is best for Micro Four Thirds photographers needing an expansive perspective for tight indoor spaces and dramatic landscapes.
