Panasonic Lumix G Vario 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 Power OIS Micro Four Thirds camera lens with tripod

Travel zoom for Micro Four Thirds

This Panasonic Lumix G Vario 12-60mm f/3.5-5.6 covers wide-angle to short telephoto in a single Micro Four Thirds lens. Power OIS adds optical stabilisation for steadier handheld shots. The splash and dustproof body suits outdoor use. A tripod is included for static work.

Replaces a bag of primes or a bulky DSLR zoom

Swapping a DSLR kit for this mirrorless lens cuts weight and bulk while keeping a versatile focal range. The jump is worth it when you want one weather-sealed optic for landscapes, street scenes and portraits without changing glass. Dual I.S. compatibility adds extra stability on supported bodies.

Covers 12 to 60 mm with variable f/3.5-5.6 aperture

The range handles wide interiors at 12 mm and tight portraits at 60 mm in good light. At the long end the maximum aperture narrows to f/5.6, so low-light handheld work needs higher ISO or a tripod. Fast action or shallow depth of field beyond this range will need a faster or longer lens.
