On December 14, 2022, the Leica DG Vario-ELMARIT 1: 2.8 / 12-35 ASPH lens was officially announced.
Basic properties
- For Panasonic mirrorless cameras Micro 4/3 systems
- Replacement for older Panasonic LUMIX GX VARIO 1:2.8/12-35 ASPH. POWER OIS (Panasonic H-HSA12035) [announced January 4, 2017]
- Built-in Power OIS Image Stabilizer
- Relative Hole: 1: 2.8-1: 22
- Focal length: 12-35 mm (EGF 24-70mm)
- MDF: 0.15 meters
- Maximum magnification ratio 1: 4.77
- Optical design: 14 elements in 9 groups, 4 aspherical elements (ASPH), 1 low dispersion (UED) and 1 ultra high refractive index (UHR) element. Most likely, the optical design is used from the older Panasonic LUMIX GX VARIO 1: 2.8 / 12-35 ASPH. POWER OIS (Panasonic H-HSA12035), announced on January 4, 2017. And that, in turn, uses an optical design from an even older Panasonic LUMIX GX VARIO 1: 2.8 / 12-35 ASPH. POWER OIS HD NANO SURFACE COATING, announced back in 2012.
- Aperture: 7 rounded blades
- Internal focus
- Filter Diameter: 58 mm
- Enlightenment Nano Crystal Coating
- The lens is well optimized for video shooting
- Professional, protected lens

The optical design is the same as the previous Panasonic 12-35 / 2,8. On digitalkamera.de they write that the type of glass of the UHR element has changed - I don’t know how useful this is without changing the rest of the geometry. Also slightly reduced MDF.
If the brand of one glass has already been changed (not to an analogue), then the geometry of the remaining lenses has changed. Another thing is that without a real change in the circuit diagram, the changes in the optical properties will probably be minimal in this case.
