The new H-ES200 lens will be in stores from April 2018.
Designed to be the perfect partner for the LUMIX G9 mirrorless camera, the LEICA DG ELMARIT 200mm/F2.8/POWER OIS (H-ES200) lens is a must-have for action and nature photography. This compact, lightweight ultra-telephoto lens with F2.8 aperture is perfect for low light shooting at dusk or dawn, while the 200mm focal length is a staple for sports and wildlife photography.
Compact and lightweight ultra-telephoto shooting
This ultra-telephoto lens offers outstanding high speed and low light performance in a lightweight design. The lens achieves stunning results for action photography, while still attaining compact mobility at a 200mm focal length – unheard of in other camera systems. For even greater versatility, a bundled 1.4x Teleconverter extends focal length to 560mm (35mm equivalent) ) and the H-ES200 can also be used with the optional 2.0x Teleconverter (DMW-TC20) to extend focal length to 800mm (35mm equivalent).
Stable handheld photography with Power OIS
The fast F2.8 aperture captures rapidly-moving subjects, while the Power OIS (Optical Image Stabiliser) compensates for hand-shake to enable shooting without a tripod and in low-light situations. For powerful stabilisation, the lens works with Dual I.S.*1 (Image Stabiliser), and the Dual I.S. 2*2 system when mounted on compatible Panasonic LUMIX DSLM cameras.
High performance AF offers precision and speed
Incorporating a triple linear motor system, the H-ES200 is compatible with the LUMIX G sensor drive at 240fps to take advantage of the high-speed, high-precision Depth From Defocus (DFD) focusing system. This stunning AF performance supports the precise focusing required for 4K video.
Splash/dust/freezeproof for rugged field use
Brave the elements in nearly any kind of weather or shooting location. The H-ES200 features a splash/dust/freezeproof construction*3 that is tough enough to withstand even heavy field use. It protects the lens system inside from sand, rain and more, making it perfect for shooting under harsh conditions.
H-ES200 LEICA Lens*1 Dual I.S. is available on GX8, GX85.
*2 Dual I.S. 2 is available on GH5, G9, G85.
*3 Splash-proof is a term used to describe an extra level of protection this lens offers against exposure to a minimal amount of moisture.
