Leica 14-50 mm f/2.8-3.5 ASPH

Leica 14-50 mm f/2.8-3.5 ASPH

TYPE: Zoom Lens - Ultra-Wide


Leica D Vario-Elmarit 14-50 mm f/2.8-3.5 ASPH This lens is a perfect match for Panasonic's Lumix DMC-L1 D-SLR -- a Leica lens for a camera that looks like an M-series rangefinder. Designed for Four Thirds–mount D-SLRs, it's the equivalent of 28 -100mm in the 35mm format, and even has built-in image stabilization, smoothing out the L1's "live" LCD. Talk about a nod to tradition, this lens even has a manual aperture ring.
