A step towards even broader expression

This wide-angle zoom lens combines LEICA imaging capabilities with mobility. From ultra-wide-angle 16mm landscapes to standard 36mm stills (35mm camera equivalent), the exceptional resolution LEICA DG lens delivers razor-sharp images from corner to corner. It also uses a 67mm filter to give you more creative ways to capture photos and videos. Even in poor weather conditions, this reliable, comfortable and high-quality lens is perfect for outdoor shooting.

LEICA DG lens - the best optics

Choose a LEICA DG lens and you will get the highest quality optics and the highest performance. These lenses meet the strict quality standards of 'Leica Camera AG'. Photos taken with the modern design lenses will delight you with exceptional sharpness. At the same time, they are protected from distortion, so images can be reproduced accurately and clearly. It is simply the ideal tool for professional-level photography.

Surface nano-coating - clear view from any angle

Get rid of unwanted shadows and reflections - all lens surfaces in this system are coated with Nano Coating. This special, ultra-thin coating was first developed by Panasonic to reduce annoying reflections across the entire light spectrum. The result: crystal-clear images, even when shooting a light source in the dark.

Image quality - perfect videos

Image quality support is everything you need when shooting with a LUMIX camera. Not only does it smoothly change aperture settings to avoid sudden exposure jumps, it also operates quietly to better capture the sounds of the scene. In addition, the incredibly efficient AF of this lens allows you to record high-quality 4K videos when precise focus is essential.

Resistant to water drops, dust and frost - more possibilities for creativity

Face the elements - you can face almost any weather or shooting location. This lens is built to be splash, dust and freeze-proof*, making it tough enough to withstand even the most demanding outdoor conditions. The lens system inside is protected from sand, rain and other external influences, making it perfect for shooting in challenging conditions. Now there's nothing to stop you from being creative with your nature or landscape photography. * The lens supports this feature when used with LUMIX cameras that are splash, dust and freeze-proof. Splash resistance is an additional level of lens protection that provides protection against small amounts of moisture, water or dust. Splash resistance does not guarantee that damage will be prevented if the lens comes into direct contact with water.

15 elements in 10 groups: - 1 aspherical Extra-Low Dispersion lens - 3 aspherical lenses - 2 Extra-Low Dispersion lenses - 1 Ultra-High Refractive Index lens The use of an aspherical (ASPH) Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) lens reduces size and weight, while delivering high-resolution, high-contrast images from corner to corner. The use of aspherical (ASPH) lenses reduces size and weight, and also prevents spherical aberration and distortion. The Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) lenses correct chromatic aberration, delivering sharp, high-contrast images with vivid colors across their entire width. The Ultra-High Refractive Index (UHR) lens improves the technical characteristics of the optical equipment, helps reduce size and weight, and ensures uniform image quality from the center of the image to the edges.
