The Panasonic 14-150mm f/3.5-5.6 Leica D Vario-Elmar Aspherical MEGA O.I.S. Lens is an interchangeable large-diameter 10.7x telephoto zoom lens, developed by Leica exclusively for digital SLR cameras. It follows the Four Thirds Standard, which also makes it compatible with other brands that use this same format. By incorporating the MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) feature and 4 aspherical and 1 ED element, this lens makes it possible to capture clear, sharp images, edge to edge, even in macro shooting or low-lit situations. This provides users with a wide range of shooting flexibility. This Leica D lens also features Extra Silent Motor (XSM) technology, which assures quick, quiet, accurate auto focusing control. This system's high torque provides exceptional responsiveness, accuracy and focusing stability. This type of motor is ideal for the auto focusing system in a super-telephoto zoom camera.

Panasonic 14-150mm f/3.5-5.6 Vario-Elmarit Aspherical MEGA O.I.S. Lens for Four Thirds System Review

Fantastic Lens

★★★★☆

4.0

"This lens is smaller than I thought it would be for the zoom range. It has some weight to it, but it is not objectionable at all. In my limited use since I've had it it seems very sharp and faster than the aperture range would indicate. I would wish for a bigger aperture, or even a fixed one but …" Read Full Review »

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Outstanding 10X zoom

★★★★★

5.0

"This relatively compact lens is surprisingly sharp, with excellent contrast and great colour rendition. Purple fringing can be provoked in extreme circumstances, but normally not an issue. Expensive, but by a significant margin, may be the best DSLR 10X zoom available today. Another great Leica desi …" Read Full Review »

Good Complementary Lens - Leica Digilux3

★★★★☆

4.0

"...great complementary lens for the leica digilux 3 4/3rds system...

...this, plus the new prime 25mm 1.4 summilux lens, is all you will need for nearly all photographic requirements (wide, long, low-light, shallow dof, etc.)... "

Disappointing

★★☆☆☆

2.0

"I tested this lens against an Olympus Zuiko 14-54, at four focal lengths common to both. I used a tripod, cable release, and mirror lockup, and took the same pictures with both in the same light, at all apertures with both lenses. The Panasonic/Leica did not match the Olympus in either color or s …" Read Full Review »
