Panasonic Leica DG Nocticron 42.5mm f/1.2 POWER O.I.S. Lens (Micro Four Thirds)

This impressive 85mm equivalent (in 35mm) portrait prime lens has been designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras. It features an extremely fast f/1.2 maximum aperture offers notable control over depth of field for working with selective focus techniques and also benefits shooting in low-light conditions.

Super-Fast Aperture f1.2

The optical formula includes two aspherical elements and one Ultra-High Refractive Index element help reduce spherical aberrations and distortion for improved sharpness and accurate rendering. An extra-low dispersion element controls chromatic aberrations and colour fringing for greater clarity and colour accuracy.

Nano Surface Coating

Additionally, the optical design also includes a Nano Surface Coating minimises surface reflections throughout the entire visible spectrum for maintained contrast and colour fidelity with a marked reduction in lens flare and ghosting.

POWER Image Stabilisation

This prime lens also benefits from an entirely internal focusing system, coupled with a stepping AF motor, resulting in fast, smooth, and precise focusing performance that is well-paired to both still shooting and video recording. The Panasonic unique POWER Optical Image Stabiliser (O.I.S.) minimises the appearance of camera shake to realise sharper imagery when shooting handheld.

Dedicated Manual Focus/AF Switch

Furthermore, the metal lens barrel is accentuated by a dedicated MF/AF switch and an aperture ring for more direct, intuitive operation. And last but, not least the aperture design features 9 rounded blades enabling creators to achieve a pleasing bokeh quality in the out-of-focus background of their photos or video footage.
