The lens consists of 9 elements in 9 groups. An aspherical element allows for a compact design without compromising quality, effectively showcasing the advantages of the Micro Four Thirds standard. Particularly valuable in the macro range is the O.I.S. image stabilizer, which effectively suppresses motion blur during handheld shots or in low-light conditions. Focusing through internal focusing ensures consistently high image quality across all distances from infinity to 10.5 cm (1:1). A fast signal transmission rate of up to 240 B/s enables quick reactions with current high-speed AF cameras like the LUMIX GM5. Additionally, focusing during both photo and video is smooth and quiet. With a brightness of F2.8 and a focal length of 60 mm (equivalent to 35mm), it also serves as a lightweight telephoto and portrait lens. The LUMIX G MACRO 30 mm/2.8 ASPH./O.I.S. features a sturdy metal mount, and the multi-layer coating of the lens elements ensures high-contrast image reproduction without reflections or ghosting.
