Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 8-18mm F2.8-4.0 ASPH MFT Lens (2017)
Product Gallery
Product Overview
Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 8-18mm F2.8-4.0 ASPH is a wide-angle zoom lens for Micro Four Thirds-mount. It covers the MFT image circle. Introduced by Panasonic in 2017, it has 15 elements in 10 groups.
For incremental weathers, Panasonic is kind enough to include weather sealing.
Unfortunately, the H-E08018 has a variable maximum aperture, which for MFT is a bit disappointing.
