Panasonic 42.5mm f/1.2 ASPH Leica DG Nocticron OIS Lens – Micro Four Thirds Mount
Unlock a new level of creative potential with the Panasonic 42.5mm f/1.2 ASPH Leica DG Nocticron OIS Lens. Designed for Micro Four Thirds cameras, this lens is a dream come true for portrait photographers and videographers who demand exceptional image quality, even in challenging lighting conditions. Its fast f/1.2 aperture combined with Leica’s world-renowned optical performance makes it ideal for capturing beautiful, professional-grade shots with stunning detail, depth, and artistic bokeh.
F1.2 High-Speed Aperture for Exceptional Low-Light Performance
The Leica DG Nocticron name is synonymous with excellence, and this lens lives up to its reputation by offering a remarkably fast f/1.2 aperture. Whether you're shooting in low light or creating beautifully blurred backgrounds, the wide aperture allows for superb control over depth of field, letting your subjects pop with clarity while rendering the background into a soft, creamy bokeh. The 42.5mm focal length (85mm equivalent in 35mm format) is perfect for portraits, delivering rich, three-dimensional effects that bring your images to life.
Advanced Optical Design for Superior Clarity
This lens incorporates aspherical elements and Leica's legendary optical craftsmanship, which work together to reduce chromatic aberrations and distortions, ensuring your images are sharp and vibrant from edge to edge. Thanks to the 9-blade rounded diaphragm, out-of-focus areas appear smooth and natural, giving your photos a professional, cinematic feel.
Nano Surface Coating for Flare and Ghost Reduction
With Panasonic’s Nano Surface Coating technology, reflections are dramatically reduced across the entire visible spectrum. This ensures that unwanted ghosting and flare are minimized, even when shooting in bright sunlight or challenging backlit conditions. The result? Crystal-clear, high-contrast images that retain their brilliance and clarity, even in the most demanding environments.
POWER O.I.S. for Blur-Free Shots
One of the standout features of the Panasonic 42.5mm f/1.2 lens is its integrated POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilization). Designed to effectively compensate for both small, fast movements and larger, slower ones, this stabilization system ensures that even handheld shots in low light remain sharp and blur-free. Whether you're shooting indoors, at night, or in any low-light situation, POWER O.I.S. keeps your images steady and your focus sharp.
Smooth and Silent Stepping Motor for Photo and Video
The stepping motor inside this lens ensures smooth and silent focusing, making it perfect for both still photography and videography. Whether you're shooting fast-moving subjects or need precise focus for video, the high-speed Contrast AF system delivers fast, accurate, and near-silent autofocus performance. This makes the lens a top choice for content creators, filmmakers, and photographers who need reliable, high-quality performance in every situation.
Premium Design with Aperture Ring Control
Not only is the Panasonic 42.5mm f/1.2 Nocticron lens a technical marvel, but its metal finish design and aperture ring control give it a premium, tactile feel. The smooth, manual aperture ring allows for intuitive control over exposure settings, making it easy to adjust in real time for precise results. Its robust build quality ensures durability, while its sleek aesthetic matches the high-end performance you'd expect from a Leica-branded lens.
