Jam packed issues filled with the latest cutting-edge research, technology and theories delivered in an entertaining and visually stunning way, aiming to educate and inspire readers of all agesThe Panasonic Leica DG Elmarit 200mm f/2.8 POWER O.I.S. is an impressive lens offering a 400mm equivalent focal length, excellent image quality, and comes with a 1.4x teleconverter.One of the undeniable advantages of Micro Four Thirds systems is the range of compact, lightweight lenses that are available.
It is often said that good things come in small packages, and when it comes to long telephoto primes compactness is certainly a good thing. Full-frame 400mm f/2.8 lenses are often large and heavy, so a 200mm f/2.8 lens with a 400mm equivalent focal length that's 6.85x3.44 in / 174x87.5 mm with a weight of just 43.92 oz / 1245 g is a breath of fresh air.
Moving to the internals, the 200mm f/2.8 has 15 elements in 13 groups, including two Ultra Extra-low Dispersion elements. The circular aperture uses nine diaphragm blades, while the front element features a 77mm filter thread. Autofocus is fast and silent, and even when testing the lens with wildlife, it never misses a beat. The previously mentioned focus distance memory is useful, while the minimum focusing distance of 3.8 ft / 1.15 m is impressive for a lens of this focal length. This could be improved further using a close-up lens/filter if close-up photography is a subject you enjoy.
