Panasonic Leica 50-200mm Review by Darryl Carey and Lenstip

Leica 50-200mm lens at BHphoto, Adorama, Amazon, Panasonic.

The new Panasonic Leica 50-200mm is finally shipping out and here is a review from Darryl Carey:

And Lenstip also tested this lens:

The list of pros of the Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmarit 50–200 mm f/2.8–4 ASPH. is really long; in order to be honest I have to admit these two cons I added a bit by force because they aren’t serious flaws at all. The weight and physical dimensions are additional assets of the tested lens, especially if you compare them to respective dimensions of its full frame 100-400 mm rivals. This device is really small and handy and I was able to appreciate it running up and down the hills of Faroe Islands. What’s more, its good aperture fastness allows you to attach it to a teleconverter without lowering the results and I mean here every system body available. You cannot say the same thing about slower 100-400 mm lenses.
