Panasonic Lumix G X Vario PZ 45-175mm F4-5.6 ASPH Power OIS: The Internal-Zoom Telephoto With Smooth Power Zoom

A zoom camera lens for Micro Four Thirds with an F4-5.6 maximum aperture, 90-350mm equivalent in 35mm terms, weighing about 210 g. It is optically stabilised, and made to Panasonic's Lumix standards for stills and video.

Who Is This Made For?

The Lumix G X Vario PZ 45-175mm F4-5.6 ASPH Power OIS is for sports, wildlife, airshow and school-event photographers who need reach and stabilisation. It is small enough to leave on the camera all day, and its compact design keeps the kit light.

Optics Designed for High-Resolution Sensors

The Lumix G X Vario PZ 45-175mm F4-5.6 ASPH Power OIS uses 14 elements in 10 groups (2 aspherical, 2 ED). Aspherical and ED elements keep edges sharp and colour fringing low, and Panasonic's coatings control flare and ghosting for clear, high-contrast images. The angle of view is 27° to 7.1°.

Compact Design, Consistent Rendering

The F4-5.6 maximum aperture and 7 blades circular diaphragm produce smooth background blur and clean specular highlights. Minimum aperture is F22.

Fast, Quiet Autofocus

A stepping motor drives the focus group for fast, near-silent autofocus, with 240 fps sensor drive on Lumix G bodies and smooth focusing for video. Closest focus is 0.9 m with a maximum magnification of 0.2x. The built-in power zoom changes focal length smoothly at variable speed from the barrel switch or the camera, ideal for video.

Optically Stabilised

The lens is fitted with optical image stabilisation that combines with body I.S. on Lumix cameras as Dual I.S. 2 for steadier handheld shooting. It measures 61.6 mm x 90.0 mm and weighs approximately 210 g, and takes 46 mm filters.
