Panasonic Leica DG Elmarit 200mm f/2.8 POWER O.I.S. Lens (HES200) + DMW-STC14

The Leica DG Elmarit 200mm f/2.8 POWER O.I.S. Lens from Panasonic is a 400 mm-equivalent super-telephoto prime, developed in partnership with Leica, that promises sharp imagery and excellent handling. With a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture users can work in low-light conditions and create images with a shallow depth of field.  Also, a POWER Optical Image Stabilizer will compensate for the camera shake and work with Panasonic's Dual I.S. and Dual I.S. 2.0 in-camera stabilization functions. Along with this, quick-access lens controls, including a focus limiter, focus button, and focus memory switch, are available for tactile control over numerous settings. It is compatible with teleconverters for added reach and the DMW-TC14 1.4x Teleconverter is included for creating a 560mm-equivalent lens at the cost of one stop of light. With a 400mm equivalent focal length on Micro Four Thirds cameras, this telephoto prime is well suited to working with distant subject matter. Two ultra-extra-low dispersion elements minimize various aberrations in order to produce a high degree of clarity, sharpness, and color accuracy. A triple linear motor autofocus system delivers smooth, near-silent performance that is especially beneficial to video applications when working in noise-sensitive areas.  Also, there is a focus button and a focus memory switch that can be set up to store focus positions or to recall a specific camera function. In addition to these more unique controls, there is an AF/MF switch and a POWER O.I.S. on/off switch. A quick-shift, two-part rotating tripod collar permits quick switching between horizontal and vertical shooting orientations, and keeps the lens controls in the same place once rotated for more intuitive handling.

Extend the reach of select L-mount lenses with the DMW-STC14 Lumix S 1.4x Teleconverter from Panasonic. This teleconverter magnifies the image by 1.4x and retains full communication between the lens and camera body, enabling metering, autofocus, and image stabilization as well as the transmission of Exif data. Its optical design incorporates a pair of ultra-high refractive index elements, too, in order to maintain high sharpness and accurate rendering. Additionally, the teleconverter has a weather-sealed construction that reduces the chances of dust, water, or even the cold from affecting performance.
