Panasonic Introduces Four New Conversion Lenses for the LUMIX G Series of Compact System Cameras
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic today announces four new conversion lenses that are compatible with the H-PS14042 (LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 14-42mm/F3.5-5.6 ASPH./POWER O.I.S.) and H-H014* (LUMIX G 14mm / F2.5 ASPH.) Panasonic Micro Four Thirds lenses, which are part of the LUMIX G Series and compatible with the company's compact system cameras (CSC).
These compact and lightweight conversion lenses are built to be mobile and allow users of Panasonic LUMIX G series digital cameras to easily switch a lens to enjoy the benefits and flexibility of different shooting options and angles. The four new conversion lenses include:
-- DMW-GWC1 Wide Conversion Lens: Helps to capture dynamic scenery with a
wider viewing angle and extends the focal length of wide-end from 14mm
to 11mm when attached to the front of the lens. Also helpful when
shooting indoor group photos where space is often limited. (Compatible
with H-PS14042 and H-H014 lenses)
-- DMW-GTC1 Tele Conversion Lens: Helps capture a subject that is faraway
by extending the focal length of tele-end from 42mm to 84mm when
attached to the front of the lens.** This conversion lens is
particularly helpful when shooting long-distance street-view shots while
traveling. (Compatible with H-PS14042 lens)
-- DMW-GMC1 Macro Conversion Lens: Designed to enable extremely close macro
shooting at a focus distance of just 0.14m when attached to the front of
the lens.*** This conversion lens is ideal for capturing amazing detail
in small subjects such as flowers and insects. (Compatible with
H-PS14042 and H-H014 lenses)
-- DMW-GFC1 Fisheye Conversion Lens: Helps users shoot creative and unique
photographs with a rounded, 120-degree angle, effect. (Compatible with
H-PS14042 and H-H014 lenses)
All four new conversion lenses come with an included adaptor ring for use with the H-PS14042 lens and H-H014, with the exception of the DMC-GTC1, which is compatible with the H-PS14042 only.
The H-PS14042 (the LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 14-42mm/F3.5-5.6 ASPH./POWER O.I.S.) is a cutting-edge interchangeable lens with electric-powered zoom operation from Panasonic's premium lens brand "X" for LUMIX G Series. Using Panasonic's optical technologies, the new lens features superb image rendering for lifelike textures and crisp edge-to-edge contrast.
The H-H014 (LUMIX G 14mm / F2.5 ASPH.) lens is an extremely lightweight and compact single focal length lens with a 14mm wide angle and F2.5 brightness. Taking advantage of the wide angle of view and deep depth of field, the compact lens offers excellent performance in shooting of not only landscapes but also snapshots or indoor shooting.
Pricing and 2012 availability will be announced approximately 30 days prior to shipping.
