Panasonic Lumix G X Vario PZ 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. Lens — H-PS14042

The smallest, most travel-friendly zoom in the Micro Four Thirds system. The Panasonic Lumix G X Vario PZ 14-42mm is a power-zoom standard lens that collapses to just over an inch deep, making any MFT body genuinely pocketable while delivering sharp, premium-grade optics.

Key Features

• 14-42mm Focal Length (28-84mm full-frame equiv.) – versatile everyday range from wide landscapes to short telephoto
• Power Zoom (PZ) – motorized zoom rocker for ultra-smooth, silent zooms during video — perfect for vlogging and run-and-gun shooting
• Ultra-Compact Design – just 27mm (1.06") deep when collapsed, ~95g — turns your camera into a true everyday carry
• POWER O.I.S. – built-in optical image stabilization for sharper handheld stills and steadier video
• Premium "X" Series Optics – Nano Surface Coating reduces ghosting and flare; multiple aspherical and ED elements for edge-to-edge sharpness
• Silent, Fast Autofocus – 240fps high-speed AF drive ideal for video
• Manual Zoom & Focus Levers – tactile control alongside the power zoom
• Metal Lens Mount – durable, professional construction

Built For

• Travel photographers who refuse to carry bulk
• Vloggers and content creators (the silent power zoom is a killer feature)
• Street photographers wanting an ultra-discreet setup
• Anyone using a Lumix GX, GF, or G100/G100D series body — pairs naturally with compact bodies
