Lens Type

Autofocus Lens, Zoom Lens

Power O.I.S. helps to combat camera shake, however lens extends when zooming, changing the centre of gravity meaning that if used for gimbals, a change of focal length will require rebalancing.  However at only 86mm (zoomed out) and 320g, it is extremely small and lightweight, so perfectly suited for Panasonic GH5 and equivalent and silent focussing make it extremely suited to video applications.

Focal Range

At the 12mm end of the zoom range, the lens has a diagonal angle of view of 84°, equivalent to that of a 24mm lens in a 35mm system.

At the 60mm end, the angle of view is 20°, which is the same as that of a 120mm lens on a 35mm full-frame camera.
