Leica DC Vario-Elmarit f/2.8-4.5 Lens

The Panasonic LUMIX FZ2000 Camera features the newly-developed LEICA DC VARIO-ELMART lens system which has a 20x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 24-480mm) and F2.8-4.5. Comprising of 16 lenses in 11 groups, the lens system boasts high optical performance with minimum ghost and flaring and a guide-pole mechanism commonly used in professional video cameras.

Together with the inner zoom structure, the guide-pole realises exceptional barycentric stability for smooth, stable zooming, where image shift is dramatically suppressed by approximately 80% compared with its predecessor, the LUMIX FZ1000.

The LEICA DC VARIO-ELMART lens also incorporates a nine aperture diaphragm to realise soft, rounded defocus, which effortlessly matches sudden changes of brightness thanks to the adoption of a galvanometer also used in professional video cameras.
