PanasonicLUMIX Professional 50-200mm Camera Lens, G LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT, F2.8-4.0 ASPH, Dual I.S. 2.0 with Power O.I.S, Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds, H-ES50200 (Black)

Update: Everything I say about the lens below is true. The bad news is that I had a problem with my lens. When I sent it to the official Panasonic repair facility, I was told that Panasonic has marked this lens as "unrepairable". I was told in writing that Panasonic is not providing parts and has indicated to the repair facility that it is not to be repaired. So if you buy this lens, get a long-term insurance policy that will pay for replacement.I've taken 10s of thousands of images with this lens over the past few years. Most have been action shots. There is some vignetting at max zoom, but the vividness and fast-focus capability of the lens is exceptional at this price point. The lens has been durable too. I've spend countless hours standing in saltwater taking photos. It's been tossed in a pocket and backpack, and it keeps working. One of the best camera purchases I've ever made, and all of my other lenses are primes.

I was looking for a lense for my trip abroad.Had a quick look,on Amazon.Noticed 2.8 Leica .I was a bit skeptical at first.Never heard of this supplier.The gentleman tel me to confirm my address.I received the parcel next day,we’ll packaged.I haven’t had chance to fully test the lense yet.Though seems ok so far,I would recommend the seller . Many thanks.

Its a must buy lens only for wildlife and extreme sports Professional photographer. Its built like a tank and the quality is as good as those from Leica made in germany .The Image Quality and Color Tone has exceed my expectation in most area . Just buy with confidence with no worry for it would last you for decades to come and with the Latest Lumix G9II ( Both added up are like Match in heaven ) that would bring a whole new world of high speed action photography under your control in full satisfation . Highly Recommended that worth every cents ....Kudos to Lumix Leica for this excellent well made lens from Japan .

I love panasonic/lumix.. After all these years,,, i stepped up to the G9.... which has been out for some years now...
