This wide zoom lens fuses LEICA's image rendering
capabilities and nimble mobility. From ultra-wide-angle
16mm landscapes to standard 36mm snapshots (35mm
camera equivalent), the incredible resolution of this LEICA
DG lens renders everything clearly from corner to corner.
It also accommodates a 67mm filter for greater creativity
in both photos and videos.
Designed for reliable use even under poor weather
conditions, this agile, high-quality lens is ideal for shooting
in the field.

Nano Surface Coating –
Clarity from All Angles
Put an end to unwanted ghosting and flaring – the Nano
Surface Coating has been applied to lenses within the
system. This special, ultra-thin coating was developed
originally by Panasonic to reduce bothersome reflections
across the entire light spectrum. The result: crystal-clear
pictures even if you’re photographing a light source in the
dark.
Video Support –
Perfect Video-recording
With video support any user has everything they need for
recording with their LUMIX camera. Not only does it
perform smooth aperture changes so there are no sudden
jumps in exposure, it also boasts a silent design for
enhanced capture of the scene’s audio. What’s more, the
stunning AF performance of this lens records excellent 4K
video, where precise focusing is essential.
Splash/Dust/Freezeproof –
More Creative Options
Brave the elements in nearly any kind of weather or
shooting location. This lens features a
splash/dust/freezeproof construction* that is tough enough
to withstand even heavy field use. It protects the lens
system inside from sand, rain and more, making it perfect
for shooting under harsh conditions. Now there is nothing
holding you back from capturing the creative nature or
landscape shots you want.
* The lens supports this feature in conjunction with
splash/dust/freezeproof LUMIX cameras.

15 elements in 10 groups:
– 1 aspherical Extra-Low Dispersion lens
– 3 aspherical lenses
– 2 Extra-Low Dispersion lenses
– 1 Ultra High Refractive Index lens
Aspherical (ASPH) Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) lens
helps reduce size and weight, achieving high resolution,
high contrast image from corner to corner.
Aspherical (ASPH) lenses also reduce size and weight,
effectively preventing spherical and distortion aberration.
Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) lenses correct chromatic
aberration rendering sharp, high-contrast images with
clear colors from corner to corner.
Ultra-High Refractive Index (UHR) lens improves optical
performance, reduces size and weight, and achieves
uniform image quality from the center to the edges of the
image.
