Overview

The Panasonic Lumix G X Vario PZ 45-175mm ƒ/4-5.6 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. Photography Lens with MFT-Mount is a super-telephoto 45-175mm zoom covering Micro Four Thirds sensors. Super-telephoto focal lengths reach subjects that cannot be approached, the working range of wildlife and field sports. A ƒ/4 maximum aperture suits well-lit work and subjects that want more depth of field, closing to ƒ/22. Optical stabilization steadies the frame, widening the range of shutter speeds that can be used handheld. Autofocus lets the camera's own subject detection drive the lens, which is what makes it usable for tracking moving subjects and for video. It mounts via MFT-Mount. Closest focus is 3 ft, for a maximum magnification of 1:5.

Features

Key Features

Super Telephoto Micro Four Thirds Coverage

The lens covers Micro Four Thirds sensors. A super-telephoto field of view reaches subjects far outside the action, which wildlife and field sports depend on.

ƒ/4 Maximum Aperture

ƒ/4 is a moderate maximum aperture, suited to well-lit conditions and to work that wants deeper depth of field, such as landscape and product photography. It closes to ƒ/22.

Autofocus

The lens focuses under the camera's control, so hybrid shooters can use the body's own subject detection and tracking rather than pulling focus by hand — the difference between catching a moving subject and losing it.

Optical Image Stabilization

Optical stabilization compensates for hand movement, extending the range of shutter speeds usable handheld and steadying the frame for handheld video.

1:5 Maximum Magnification

A maximum magnification of 1:5 sets how large a small subject renders on the sensor, with a closest focus of 3 ft.

46mm Filter Thread

Optical Design

45-175mm Zoom Range

The 45-175mm range covers a scene without a lens change, which travel, event and documentary work depend on.

7-Blade Diaphragm

7 blades hold the iris closer to a circle when stopped down, which keeps out-of-focus highlights round rather than polygonal — visible in portrait backgrounds and night work.

Mount & Build

MFT-Mount

The lens mounts via MFT-Mount, which sets the bodies it fits directly and those it reaches through an adapter.

Electronic Lens Communication

Contacts in the mount pass aperture, focus and focal length between lens and body, so exposure data is recorded to EXIF and in-camera corrections for distortion and vignetting apply automatically.
