Panasonic Lumix 30mm F2.3 – MFT Lens

Panasonic Lumix 30mm F2.3 – MFT Lens (H-HS030E) is designed for use by Micro Four Thirds mount cameras. Compact, lightweight (180g) dedicated macro lens offering fantastic optical performance for an affordable price. Close focusing down to just 10cm giving a 1:1 and providing 60mm focal length equivalent on a 2x crop MFT sensor.

Taking advantage of the life-size magnification capability of 1x (35mm camera equivalent: 2x) and deep depth of field, this compact lens offers excellent performance in shooting from casual macro shots, like flowers or food, to impressive portraits. It features an outstanding closest focusing distance of 0.105m allowing you to shoot true-to-life macro shots of flowers or small accessories.

The inclusion of a stepping motor makes the focusing action smooth and silent for use in both photo and video recording. When mounted on the LUMIX G cameras, you can take advantage of the high-speed, high-precision Contrast AF system with a 240 fps digital signal exchange, achieving high-speed AF faster than approx. 0.5 sec (infinity – 0.105m).

Comprising of 9 lenses in 9 groups including an aspherical lens, the lens system achieves both high compactness and high optical performance. It incorporates a superior inner focus system that enables excellent resolution and contrast from full life-size magnification to infinity. Offered in sharp, metallic black, this lens stylishly matches the LUMIX G cameras.

The MEGA O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) effectively compensates for hand-shake movement making it easy to capture images clearly even if they are shot with a small aperture.

Seven blades give the aperture a rounded shape that produces an attractively smooth effect in out-of-focus areas when shooting at larger aperture settings. A highly reliable metal mount assures durability for active use and uses multi-coated lens elements that minimize ghosts and flare to further enhance its shooting performance.
