The Lumix G 14mm f/2.5 ASPH II lens from Panasonic is a thin 0.8"-thick wide-angle prime lens for Micro Four Thirds system
cameras. With a 28mm equivalent focal length, it is a versatile choice
for everyday use. A stepping motor for ensures quick, quiet autofocus,
ideal for both movie and still recording, and a bright maximum aperture
of f/2.5 benefits working in low-light conditions while offering
greater control over focus placement for shallow depth of field
applications.
An internal focusing system maintains the overall lens length during
operation and the optical design uses six elements in five groups,
including three aspherical elements, to minimise chromatic aberrations
and distortions. A multi-coating has also been applied to the lens
elements to reduce surface reflections, flare and ghosting. Finally, a
rounded seven blade diaphragm produces attractive out-of-focus areas,
and an all-metal lens mount offers enhanced durability and mounting
precision.
