As an optical partner of legendary LEICA Lenses, Panasonic LUMIX Professional Camera Lens LEICA DG VARIO-ELMARIT H-ES12060 features Panasonic’s Nano Surface Coating to reduce bothersome reflections across the entire light spectrum for the highest standards of detail and sharpness. Built for the outdoors, this professional grade metal body lens features a splash / dustproof design when mounted on a compatible LUMIX G Mirrorless camera. Featuring Power O.I.S. optical image stabilization compatibility with 5-Axis Dual I.S. 2.0 (Image Stabilization), you'll shoot with unprecedented hand-held stability across both video and still. For added versatile high performance, this standard zoom lens offers a F2.8-4.0 ASPH and focal length of 12-60mm (35mm camera equivalent: 24-120mm) to render everything clearly, from corner to corner. What’s more, the stunning AF performance of this lens records excellent 4K video where precise focusing is essential. Make the switch from bulky DSLRs to the smaller, lighter, more compact Mirrorless Micro Four Thirds system cameras and lenses from Panasonic LUMIX.

Review: Hochwertig wie ich erwartet habe.
Review: Lo recibí con la caja algo deteriorada pero el interior parecía en perfecto estado así que me lo quedé. Tras varios meses de utilización puedo decir que es un estupendo objetivo, ideal como óptica "todo terreno" aunque tal vez un poco pesado para fotografía de calle pero, claro, está construido todo en metal; aun así es muy portable. Diseño minimalista pero agradable. La calidad del acabado es excelente transmitiendo la sensación de robustez y, a la vez, todo funciona de forma muy suave (hasta poner el parasol es una gozada). La calidad de la imagen es simplemente impresionante, muy buena nitidez (centro/esquina) en todos los rangos de focal i en todos los diafragmas hasta f-8 (a partir de ahí comienza a decaer pero es normal en las ópticas de m 4/3) teniendo su punto dulce entre f4 i f5.6, poca distorsión y en su extremo gran angular (12 mm.) i ninguna en el resto de las focales y prácticamente ninguna aberración cromática . Lo utilizo, sobretodo, en una Olympus PEN-F aunque también, ocasionalmente, en una Olympus E-PL8 sin ningún problema de compatibilidad. evidentemente el estabilizador de imagen MEGA-OIS no se suma al de las cámaras pero si las pone en un modo donde domina la estabilización del objetivo que, según mi experiencia, es superior al del cuerpo (ya de por sí magnífica sobretodo en la PEN-F). Una excelente compra, muy recomendable.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the difference between this one and the previous generation?**
A: I am guessing (and apparently the Panasonic team could not figure this out) is not the "previous generation" of this lens, but the also recently released 12-60/3.5-5.6 lens. The first version was (1) half the price, (2) about 1/3 less weight and (3) not Leica branded. I have it and am very happy - but of course I got it before this new 12-60 was announced. There has only been (from what I have found) one full review of the new lens - and no direct comparison so far between the two. Everyone on the photography boards are assuming that because of the way the new lens was made (different lens configuration and build quality) that it should produce better images. But as I said - no direct comparisons yet. The original was more of a "consumer grade" lens and the new one seems to be more of a "pro" lens - even though Panasonic has not used that "pro" designation the way Olympus has.

**Q: panasonic:: everyone on dpreview has made in china lenses. isn't this lens made in china and not germany?**
A: Thank you for reaching out! While a German brand lens this unit is manufactured in China

**Q: Is this a constant f2.8 or does the fstop decrease as you zoom in?**
A: The lens is not a constant 2.8 it is a variable to f4

**Q: Can someone provide me with the physical dimensions of the lens? Specifically, length from the camera body to the end of the lens at the 12mm zoom pos**
A: Dear customer, thank you for your question. Filter diameter 62mm Max. diameter Approx. 68.4mm (2.7inch) Overall length Approx. 86mm (3.4inch) (from the tip of the lens to the base side of the lens mount) Mass (Weight) Approx. 320g (0.70lb)

*by T***Z on 4 January 2026*

This is a great lens. I use it almost exclusively when traveling. It's larger than primes but is not heavy and balances well on my Panasonic G9 body. It is very sharp throughout. With a body that has electronic magnification, its reach is great. Color rendition is very accurate. Very easy to shoot hand held because of the synched IS. The build seems very sturdy, even after a number of years of use. I wish I'd pull the trigger on it long before I did.
