Panasonic Leica DG Elmarit 200mm f/2.8 POWER O.I.S lens review

Panasonic Leica DG Elmarit 200mm f/2.8 POWER O.I.S is a collaboration between Panasonic and Leica .

The lens is incredibly compact and lightweight considering the focal length on offer.

It comes with a 1.4x teleconverter in the box that extends focal length to a 560mm equivalent.

It's an expensive lens at $ 2,999 / 2,699, but that’s still less expensive than comparable full-frame lenses.

Panasonic Leica DG Elmarit 200mm f/2.8 comes with a 1.4x teleconverter that can be attached to the lens.

This will extend the lens's focal length from the 400mm equivalent to a 560mm equivalent.

The minimum focusing distance of the lens is 3.8 ft / 1.15 m, which is quite impressive.

Images taken at this maximum aperture are nice and sharp, with the f.8 to f/5.6 range producing the sharpest result.

Autofocus is fast and silent and the silent aspect is also useful for video capture.

The Panasonic Leica DG Elmarit 200mm f/2.8 is a fantastic lens for wildlife, nature, landscape and night sky photography where a long focal length is required.
