Product Description
-------------------
The Lumix G X VARIO PZ 14-42mm lens is state-of-the-art thanks
to its motorized zoom and prodigiously compact size. The
motorized zoom allows you to zoom in with ease, just like a
compact, thanks to a zoom button located on the lens. This zoom
stands out thanks to Panasonic's optical technology, it belongs
to the new premium X lens range offering extreme image quality.
Comprising 9 elements in 8 groups and 4 aspherical lenses, the
engineers created one of the smallest zooms on the market with
uncompromising optical quality by minimizing distortion, even at
28mm wide angle. The 2 very low dispersion lenses perfectly
correct chromatic aberrations. In addition, the retractable lens
allows for extreme compactness, with a size of approximately
26.8mm** and a weight of about 95g, for total mobility. Nano
on the lenses helps minimize flare and ghosting. The
internal focus system, thanks to a specific motor, avoids
changing the length of the lens during focusing. Light Speed
focusing is approximately 0.1 seconds*** due to the decrease in
the size of the focus lens and its movements. By accelerating
aperture control, shutter time offset is also reduced by about
40% compared to the LUMIX G VARIO 14-42mm/F3.5-5.6 ASPH. /MEGA

Manufacturer's Description
--------------------------
LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 14-42mm / F3.5-5.6 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S.
It's a new cutting-edge interchangeable lens LUMIX G X VARIO PZ
14-42mm/F3.5-5.6 ASPH./POWER O.I.S. with electric-powered zoom
operation from the new premium lens brand “X” for LUMIX G Micro
System that complies with Micro Four Thirds System standard.
Crystallizing Panasonic's optical technologies, new premium lens
brand “X” features superb image rendering for lifelike textures,
crisp edge-to-edge contrast, a unique Nano Surface Coating for
minimal ghosts and flaring and natural atmospheres with
remarkable transparency.
Comprising of 9 lenses in 8 groups, the lens system features
excellent contrast at entire zoom range. The inclusion of 4
aspherical lenses that helps achieving the downsizing of lens
unit also improves optical performance by minimizing distortion,
even at the 28 mm wide end. The 2 ED lenses effectively
compensates for the chromatic aberration. And, the
retractable-type zoom lens boasts outstanding compactness with
approx. 26.8 mm** in length and approx. 95g in weight to realize
ultra-high mobility.
Panasonic's Nano Surface Coating technology is adopted to
minimize the reflection at entire visual light range
(380nm-780nm) by applying the extra-low refractive index coating
with nano-sized structure on the surface of the lens. It results
in the super clear image with dramatic reduction of ghost and
flare.
Adopting an inner focus system driven by a stepping motor, the
superior optical design realizes outstanding smoothness to
support the high speed AF system of LUMIX G cameras. It achieves
approx. 0.1 second Light Speed AF*** thanks to the downsizing of
focus lens and its a of movement. By speeding up the
aperture control, shutter time lag is also shortened by approx.
40% compared with the LUMIX G VARIO 14-42mm/F3.5-5.6 ASPH. /MEGA
