Lumix G 42.5mm f/1.7 ASPH Power O.I.S.

The Panasonic LUMIX G 42.5mm f/1.7 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. is a prime lens designed for Micro Four Thirds mirrorless cameras, providing an 85mm-equivalent focal length ideal for portrait photography. The f/1.7 maximum aperture enables selective focus control and low-light shooting capability, while the single aspherical element minimizes spherical aberrations for improved sharpness and clarity. A stepping autofocus motor with internal focus design delivers fast and silent focusing performance, and the POWER O.I.S. optical image stabilization compensates for camera shake during handheld use.

The lens features a rounded seven-blade diaphragm that produces smooth bokeh when shooting with shallow depth of field, and its compact all-metal construction weighs just 130 grams. With a minimum focus distance of 31 centimeters and a filter thread size of 37mm, this lens combines optical quality with practical portability for professional and enthusiast photographers.
