Made for travel photography, the Panasonic Lumix 12 - 60 mm F/3.5 - 5.6 Lens is a compact zoom accessory that spans a versatile focal length range that is equivalent to that of a 24 - 120 mm lens. It features a Power O.I.S. System that minimizes the amount of camera shake for capturing sharper, blur-free photos even when the camera is hand-held. The rounded seven-blade diaphragm is capable of producing a smooth bokeh quality to work with selective focus, as well as shallow depth of field techniques. Also, the water and dust-resistant construction make the task of working in harsh environments and inclement conditions an easy one.
