Product Overview
Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm F2.8 II ASPH Power OIS is a standard zoom lens for Micro Four Thirds-mount. It covers the MFT image circle. Introduced by Panasonic in 2017, it has 14 elements in 9 groups.
Like most zoom lenses, the Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm F2.8 II ASPH Power OIS is externally-zooming. For incremental weathers, Panasonic is kind enough to include weather sealing.
A standard zoom lens with relatively bright maximum aperture, the Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 12-35mm F2.8 II ASPH Power OIS can be a key piece in a photographer's arsenal, though some may prefer prime lenses in this focal range. The lens is also stabilized, making it even easier to use for videos and stills alike.

Reviewer score 62%Panasonic H-HS12035 is an optically-stabilized 12-35mm F2.8 in its premium 'X' range. Unlike Panasonic's previous X lenses, the lens is not a powerzoom, instead featuring a conventional rotary zoom ring as favoured by stills photographers. It boasts metal-barreled construction, and in a first for Panasonic a degree of environmental sealing.
