LEICA DG Lens - Ultimate Optics
The LEICA ES200 DG Lens provides the ultimate optical quality and performance. Enjoy brilliant, edge-to-edge clarity and prevent distortions of all kinds to assure precise, sharp picture rendering.

Nano Surface Coating
End unwanted ghosting and flaring with Panasonic's Nano Surface Coating. This special, ultra-thin coating reduces bothersome reflections across the entire light spectrum.

POWER O.I.S. - ultra-sharp photos
LUMIX MEGA Optical image stabilization (O.I.S.) compensates for large camera shake and vibrations to capture sharp, blur-free contours across the entire picture without a tripod.

Splash/Dust/Freezeproof
With its splash/dust/freezeproof construction this lens is tough enough to withstand heavy field use by protecting the interior lens system from sand, rain, cold and other harsh conditions.

H-ES200: Construction
15 elements in 13 groups: 2 Ultra Extra-Low Dispersion (UED) lenses correct chromatic aberration rendering sharp, high-contrast images with clear colors from corner to corner.
