Brand Panasonic System Panasonic Lumix G

The Panasonic LEICA DG MACRO-ELMARIT 45mm f/2.8 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S. is a 90mm-equivalent short telephoto for Micro Four Thirds that focuses all the way to 1:1, so a small subject fills the frame at life size. Built to Leica's tolerances, the 14-element design uses one ED element and one aspherical element to hold chromatic aberration and distortion down from 0.15 m out to infinity.

At 225 g and 63 mm across, it stays small enough to leave on the camera as a portrait lens between close-up sessions. Focusing is internal with a floating group, so the barrel never changes length, and a limiter switch locks focus to the 0.5 m to infinity range when you don't want AF hunting through the macro range. If you're weighing this against a longer macro with more working distance, come talk it through with our team.

Buy from an authorized Panasonic dealer like Camera West to ensure a genuine product with full manufacturer warranty and expert support.

True Life Size

Focus down to 0.15 m and the lens reproduces a subject at 1:1 on the sensor, which on Micro Four Thirds means a very small object fills the frame. Working distance at that setting is short, so plan on getting close and watch that the lens does not shade your subject.

Built to Leica Tolerances

The optical design runs 14 elements in 10 groups, with one ED element for chromatic aberration and one aspherical element for spherical aberration and distortion. Elements are multi-coated to hold contrast when you are shooting toward a light source.

Also a 90mm Portrait Lens

The 45mm focal length gives a 90mm equivalent angle of view on Micro Four Thirds, and the rounded seven-blade diaphragm keeps out-of-focus areas smooth at f/2.8. It is light enough to leave mounted between close-up sessions.
