The Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 12-60 mm F2.8-4 ASPH OIS is a very light and handy zoom with MFT mount that also covers a Micro Four Thirds image circle. The lens has image stabilization and offers dual IS, which means it is very compatible with sensor stabilization of the GH5, for example. The autofocus motor is nearly silent, so perfect for video use. The lens was made in collaboration with Leica, so the glass and coating are top of the shelf quality.

It contains 4 aspherical and 2 low dispersion elements to correct chromatic aberrations. The lens consists of 14 elements in 12 groups. The angle of view is 84° to 20°. The minimum focus distance is 20 cm. The 12-60 mm lens has 9 blades with a round bokeh. The lens has a 62 mm front filter thread.

It weighs 320 g. The lens dimensions are 68.4 x 86 mm.
