The Panasonic LUMIX G X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 II ASPH. POWER O.I.S. is a professional-tier, fast standard zoom lens engineered for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras (compatible with Panasonic LUMIX and OM SYSTEM / Olympus MFT bodies), delivering a classic 24-70mm full-frame equivalent focal length range. Serving as a core workhorse optic for event videography, documentary filmmaking, street photography, travel landscapes, and portraiture, it combines an expansive wide-to-portrait reach with a constant, bright f/2.8 maximum aperture for uniform exposure settings, low-light versatility, and pleasing depth-of-field control across the entire zoom span.

The optical formula utilizes 14 elements in 9 groups, incorporating four aspherical elements, one Ultra Extra-Low Dispersion (UED) element, and one Ultra High Refractive (UHR) element to suppress chromatic aberrations, spherical distortion, and peripheral softness. Panasonic’s proprietary Nano Surface Coating is applied to reduce flare, ghosting, and internal reflections, preserving rich contrast and color neutrality in backlit scenarios. To facilitate steady handheld shooting, the lens integrates POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer), which functions independently or synchronizes seamlessly with in-body stabilization via Panasonic Dual I.S. and Dual I.S. 2 systems. Autofocus is driven by a smooth, near-silent stepping motor supporting 240 fps digital sensor drive speeds for fast, quiet focus tracking during stills and 4K video recording. The durable all-metal exterior is fully sealed against splash, dust, and freezing temperatures down to 14°F (-10°C).

CONDITION DIAGNOSTICS & PHYSICAL NOTES

Included Components: Supplied with the Panasonic LUMIX G X Vario 12-35mm f/2.8 II ASPH. POWER O.I.S. lens, Panasonic 58mm front snap-on lens cap, and Micro Four Thirds rear bayonet cap. (Lens hood not included).

Exterior & Physical Status: EXCELLENT CONDITION. The matte black metallic barrel, ribbed rubber zoom and manual focus rings, OIS ON/OFF barrel switch, and metal Micro Four Thirds bayonet mount show minimal signs of light handling.

Optical & Mechanical Status: FULLY FUNCTIONAL. Optical glass elements are clean and free of scratches, haze, or fungus; the zoom mechanism extends smoothly; the stepping motor autofocus locks swiftly, silently, and accurately; the POWER O.I.S. image stabilization mechanism engages properly; the rounded 7-blade diaphragm actuates reliably across all f-stops.

KEY FEATURES & PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS

24-70mm Equivalent Standard Zoom: Versatile everyday focal range bridging wide-angle landscapes, street documentation, and flattering portraiture.

Constant f/2.8 Maximum Aperture: Maintains consistent light gathering and shallow depth-of-field control throughout the zoom range.

POWER O.I.S. & Dual I.S. Support: Optical stabilization compensates for handheld shake and pairs with camera sensor-shift systems for multi-axis stability.

Advanced Optical Architecture: 4 aspherical, 1 UED, and 1 UHR elements ensure edge-to-edge sharpness, high contrast, and minimal aberration.

Nano Surface Coating: Minimizes ghosting and lens flare in challenging backlit and direct lighting situations.

High-Speed Stepping AF Drive: Delivers fast, quiet, and smooth focus pulls compatible with high-frame-rate sensor communication up to 240 fps.

Weather-Sealed All-Metal Construction: Rugged splashproof, dustproof, and freezeproof (down to 14°F / -10°C) build designed for demanding outdoor use.

Rounded 7-Blade Diaphragm: Generates soft, circular out-of-focus highlights and smooth background blur.
