Panasonic's updated MFT f/2.8 telephoto — 70-200mm equiv Mark II with Dual I.S. 2 and splash resistance.
The Panasonic Lumix G X Vario 35-100mm f/2.8 II Power O.I.S. launched in 2016 as the Mark II update, adding Dual I.S. 2 compatibility and splash/dust resistance. It covers 70-200mm equivalent at constant f/2.8 — the professional MFT telephoto zoom.
Optically excellent — same outstanding X-series quality as the Mark I with improved coatings. Dual I.S. 2 combines lens and body stabilisation on compatible bodies. Constant f/2.8. Fast, quiet AF. Splash and dust resistant construction.
Micro Four Thirds mount with 58mm filter thread. Weighs 360g — still remarkably light for 70-200mm equiv f/2.8. Splash and dust resistant — improved over Mark I. Minimum focus distance 85cm.
Available used at mid-range prices. The Mark II's splash resistance and Dual I.S. 2 justify the premium over the Mark I. Pairs with the 12-35mm f/2.8 II for a complete f/2.8 MFT zoom system. Outstanding for MFT event and portrait work.
