capabilities and nimble mobility. From ultra-wide-angle
16mm landscapes to standard 36mm snapshots (35mm
camera equivalent), the incredible resolution of this LEICA
DG lens renders everything clearly from corner to corner.
It also accommodates a 67mm filter for greater creativity
in both photos and videos.
Designed for reliable use even under poor weather
conditions, this agile, high-quality lens is ideal for shooting
in the field.
LEICA DG Lens –
ultimate optics
Opt for a LEICA DG lens and get the ultimate in optical
quality and performance. They naturally meet the strict
quality standards set by Leica Camera AG.
Thanks to the sophisticated design of these lenses, you
will enjoy brilliant clarity all the way to the edges of your
photos. At the same time, distortions of all kind are
prevented to enable precise, sharp picture rendering. This
means you have the ideal tool for pro-level
images in the
palm of your hand.
Nano Surface Coating – clarity from all angles
Put an end to unwanted ghosting and flaring – the Nano Surface Coating has been applied to lenses within the system. This special, ultra-thin coating was developed originally by Panasonic to reduce bothersome reflections across the entire light spectrum. The result: crystal-clear pictures even if you’re photographing a light source in the dark.
Video Support –
perfect video-recording
With video support any user has everything they need for recording with their LUMIX camera. Not only does it perform smooth aperture changes so there are no sudden jumps in exposure, it also boasts a silent design for enhanced capture of the scene’s audio. What’s more, the stunning AF performance of this lens records excellent 4K video, where precise focusing is essential.
Splash/Dust/Freezeproof – more creative options
Brave the elements in nearly any kind of weather or
shooting location. This lens features a
splash/dust/freezeproof construction* that is tough enough
to withstand even heavy field use. It protects the lens
system inside from sand, rain and more, making it perfect
for shooting under harsh conditions. Now there is nothing
holding you back from capturing the creative nature or
landscape shots you want.
* The lens supports this feature in conjunction with splash/dust/freezeproof LUMIX cameras. Splash Proof is a term used to describe an extra level of protection this lens offers against exposure to a minimal amount of moisture, water or dust. Splash Proof does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this lens is subjected to direct contact with water.

Aspherical (ASPH) Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) lens
helps reduce size and weight, achieving high resolution,
high contrast image from corner to corner.
Aspherical (ASPH) lenses also reduce size and weight,
effectively preventing spherical and distortion aberration.
Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) lenses correct chromatic
aberration rendering sharp, high-contrast images with
clear colors from corner to corner.
Ultra-High Refractive Index (UHR) lens improves optical
performance, reduces size and weight, and achieves
uniform image quality from the center to the edges of the
image.

Camera Labs, Highly Recommended, June 2017
"The Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 8-16mm f/2.8-4.0 ASPH is another great addition to the Panasonic lens line-up, especially if you shoot a mixture of stills and video, where the completely silent operation and versatile wide-angle focal range really come to the fore"
Photography Blog, Essential, May 2017
"The Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 8-18mm f/2.8-4 Asph. is a pleasure to use, but the greatest pleasure is arguably in the outstanding sharpness, giving a real punch to images"
