Panasonic Corporation has added a new lens kit to the mirrorless camera 'LUMIX GH5II'. The release date is April 25, 2024. The expected retail price is 185,000 yen (including tax).
Evolved Mirrorless Camera
'LUMIX GH5II' is a mirrorless camera released by Panasonic in June 2021. While inheriting the performance of its predecessor model 'LUMIX GH5', it features a Live MOS sensor with an effective 20.33 million pixels, achieving high-quality shooting performance.
New High-Magnification Zoom Lens Kit Added
The 'LUMIX G VARIO 14-140mm F3.5-5.6 II ASPH. POWER O.I.S.' features a focal range equivalent to 28-280mm in 35mm format, characterized by its compact and lightweight design suitable for a wide range of shooting scenes. Additionally, it is equipped with an image stabilization mechanism and supports cooperative stabilization with the camera body.
Previously, the 'LUMIX GH5II' was available as a body-only option or in combination with the standard zoom lens 'LUMIX G VARIO 12-60mm / F3.5-5.6 ASPH. / POWER O.I.S.'. This newly proposed high-magnification zoom lens kit is approximately 35,000 yen cheaper than purchasing separately. Purchase is available from the direct sales site.
