The UED (Ultra Extra-Low Dispersion) lens minimizes chromatic aberration while the UHR (Ultra High Refractive) lens realizes high descriptive performance from corner to corner. 

The lens's newly integrated POWER O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) makes it easy to shoot extremely clear photos even in low-lit situations such as at night or indoors. It is approximately 73.8mm in length and 10.76oz in weight, with a rubber ring on the lens mount. The Panasonic LUMIX G X VARIO 12-35mm/F2.8 ASPH./POWER O.I.S.
