Wide to Telephoto: Launch of the High-Power Zoom Lens Kit for 'LUMIX GH5II' | Panasonic

Panasonic has announced the 'DC-GH5M2H', a new lens kit for the mirrorless camera 'LUMIX GH5II' with a high-power zoom lens 'LUMIX G VARIO 14-140mm / F3.5-5.6 II ASPH. / POWER O.I.S.'. The release date is April 25, 2024, with a suggested retail price of 185,000 yen.

The 'LUMIX G VARIO 14-140mm / F3.5-5.6 II ASPH. / POWER O.I.S.' offers multifunctionality for various shooting scenes during travel. This lens can meet a wide range of demands, from dynamic landscape depiction with wide-angle shooting, three-dimensional portraits with mid-telephoto, to capturing distant subjects with telephoto shooting. Additionally, it features a 10x optical zoom, allowing for distant subject capture. With a compact and lightweight design of approximately 75mm in length and about 265g in weight, it also adopts a luxurious metal exterior.

Featuring the new image stabilization system 'Dual I.S.2', it synchronizes in real-time with both in-body stabilization (B.I.S.) and lens stabilization (O.I.S.). This enables 5-axis stabilization, correcting for pitch/yaw, roll, and translational shake (X/Y). Combined with 2-axis lens stabilization, it can correct and eliminate shake in any shooting scene. This advanced stabilization technology allows users to enjoy more stable image quality in photography.
