Panasonic LUMIX H-NS043 Leica DG Nocticron 42.5mm f/1.2 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. Lens

Discover the high-speed performance of the new F1.2 Leica DG Nocticron lens, specially crafted for portrait photography. With its popular 42.5mm focal length (35mm equivalent to 85mm), this lens delivers a rich, stereoscopic effect, enhanced by 9 rounded diaphragm blades that produce beautifully soft bokeh. The fast F1.2 aperture allows for creative, shallow depth-of-field techniques while ensuring that out-of-focus areas exhibit a smooth, pleasing blur.

Advanced features such as the stepped motor for smooth, silent autofocus, Nano Surface Coating for minimized reflections over the full visible spectrum, and the integrated POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) make this lens perfect for both photography and video. With precise contrast-detection AF when paired with LUMIX G cameras and MTF chart compensation for distortion, every shot is rendered in exceptional clarity even in challenging low-light conditions.

Key Features

• High Speed Aperture: f/1.2 aperture that allows creative soft focus shooting with a beautifully rounded bokeh.
• Aperture Ring Control / Metal Finish: Equipped with a stepping motor for smooth, almost silent autofocus performance in both photo and video modes.
• Nano Surface Coating: Applies an extra-low refractive index coating with nano-sized structure to minimize reflections (380nm-780nm range) for clearer, ghost-free images.
• POWER O.I.S.: Integrated optical image stabilization compensates for both small, fast movements and larger, slower motions for clear low-light shooting.
• MTF Chart Compensation: Adjusted across the field to counteract lens distortion, ensuring balanced image quality from center to edge.
