PMA 2009: Panasonic has today broadened the perspective of the Micro Four Thirds system with the announcement of the Lumix G Vario 7-14mm F4 ASPH ultra wide-angle zoom. This new lens takes full advantage of the short back focus distance of Micro Four Thirds to reduce the size and weight dramatically compared to similar lenses, to just 70mm x 83mm and a mere 300g. Two Aspherical elements and four Extraordinary Dispersion glass elements are used to reduce distortion and chromatic aberration, and a built-in petal-shaped lens hood protects against flare from stray light.
