Overview

The Panasonic LUMIX G X VARIO PZ 45-175mm f/4.0-5.6 is a telephoto zoom lens built for the Micro Four Thirds system that punches well above its weight class. Covering a 35mm-equivalent focal range of 90-350mm, it gives photographers and videographers serious telephoto reach in a remarkably slim and lightweight package. The lens features Panasonic's nano surface coating, which minimizes ghosting and lens flare, delivering clean contrast even when shooting toward bright light sources.

What sets this lens apart is its power zoom mechanism with multi-speed control. Rather than a traditional twist-to-zoom ring, the motorized zoom lever lets you smoothly transition between focal lengths at a consistent, controllable speed—a major advantage for video shooters who need professional-looking zoom pulls. The Multi Actuator Floating Inner Focus system ensures fast, quiet autofocus while keeping the lens barrel at a fixed length throughout the zoom range. Combined with Power O.I.S. stabilization, this lens is a versatile tool for capturing distant subjects in both stills and motion work.
