Lumix Vario Lens 7-14mm F4.0 ASPH - Lightly Used with original box and cap plus small padded Lumix bag . RRP CVP £740 inc VAT

The Lumix G Vario 7-14mm F4 ASPH was the third lens Panasonic announced for its fledgling Micro Four Thirds system, back in March 2009. It certainly created a significant buzz on release, with the company taking advantage of the short back focus of the mirrorless mount to deliver a lens whose compact size belies its dramatically wide 114º angle of view and constant F4 maximum aperture. The 7-14mm is far and away the smallest zoom currently available to offer such a wide angle of view; compared to the Olympus equivalent for Four Thirds DSLRs its dimensions are shrunk by at least 20% each way, and it's just 40% of the weight.

Like all other zooms this wide, the 7-14mm F4 features a distinctive design, with a bulbous front element and an integrated hood to protect that large expanse of glass against stray light. The compact barrel houses no fewer than 16 pieces of glass, arranged into 12 groups, and including two aspherical and 4 extra-low dispersion glass elements to combat aberrations.

Features:

• Super-wide angle zoom range (14-28mm equivalent)
• Compact design
• F4 constant maximum aperture
• Micro Four Thirds mount for Olympus and Panasonic cameras
• Weight: 300g
