Leica DG Macro-Elmarit 45mm f/2.8 Lens

This Panasonic Lumix G lens is a Leica-branded macro optic for Micro Four Thirds cameras. It suits photographers who need 1:1 close-up capability and a short telephoto perspective in a compact form. The bundle adds two aluminium tripods and a cleaning cloth for stable shooting. It is not for users requiring autofocus on non-Micro Four Thirds bodies or focal lengths beyond 45mm.

45mm f/2.8 maximum aperture

The lens opens to f/2.8 at its fixed 45mm focal length, providing the light-gathering ability and depth-of-field control that define its macro and portrait utility. This single specification determines whether the optic matches the creative and exposure needs of the shooter. Buyers needing a wider maximum aperture or a zoom range must look elsewhere.

Mega Optical Image Stabilisation and tripod support

Panasonic's Mega O.I.S. system reduces blur from camera shake during handheld macro work, especially in low light. The included Slik U8800L and Vanguard Vesta 203AGH tripods provide rigid three-section aluminium platforms with hybrid heads for vibration-free long exposures. Together they keep the optical path steady without adding electronic noise or extra power draw.

Questions about this item

How close can the 45mm f/2.8 lens focus for true macro work?

The lens achieves 1:1 life-size magnification at its minimum focus distance, letting you fill the frame with subjects as small as the sensor itself.

What does the Micro Four Thirds mount mean for stabilisation on this lens?

The lens includes Mega O.I.S. that works with the camera body to give dual-axis shake correction, while the mount diameter caps the maximum aperture at f/2.8.

Will the Slik U8800L and Vanguard Vesta 203AGH tripods both support the lens and camera combo?

Yes, both three-section aluminium tripods are rated for typical mirrorless kits; the Slik uses a hybrid 3-way pan head and the Vanguard a GH-45 pistol grip head.
