Compact and Lightweight Micro Four Thirds Lenses

The compact, lightweight LUMIX G lenses and LEICA DG lens support the Contrast AF function of LUMIX G Micro System cameras and feature Panasonic's advanced optical technologies, such as MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer). These high-performance lenses comply with the Micro Four Thirds System, an interchangeable lens camera system that was designed and developed to optimize the characteristics of digital technology. It carefully preserves the image quality of the 4/3-type image sensor, while reducing the size of the camera body and particularly the size of wide-angle lenses.

LUMIX G Micro System cameras can be fitted with the mount adaptor DMW-MA1 that allows the use of a wide variety of high-performance Four Thirds lenses, including Leica D lenses. Naturally, the shooting functions of the LUMIX G Micro System cameras remain usable with the DMW-MA1 mounted*. Unleash your creative possibilities, for example, by using a single focus lens to capture images with a beautiful, softly focused background, and an ultra-powerful zoom to pull distant wildlife right up close.

LEICA D lens

* Lenses that are not compatible with the contrast AF function can be used with manual focusing.

Rather than simply following the old analog format, the Four Thirds Standard was developed specifically to maximize image quality with digital photography. This system is based on an open standard, with all of the flexibility that entails. Manufacturers can use the Four Thirds open standard to create distinctive products that meet your needs.

The LEICA mount adaptors are developed under support of Leica Camera AG making it possible to attach Leica M lenses and Leica R lenses on LUMIX G Micro System cameras. This adaptor also allows users to use movable MF assist function which enlarges the selected area when focusing manually. The compatibility information is at
