Panasonic Lumix G Vario 35-100mm f/4-5.6 ASPH. Mega O.I.S. - Micro Four Thirds Mount

The Panasonic Lumix G Vario 35-100mm f/4-5.6 ASPH. Mega O.I.S. is an ultra-compact telephoto zoom for Micro Four Thirds cameras. Offering a 70-200mm equivalent focal range, it features a retractable design that keeps the lens remarkably small when not in use. It includes Mega O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabiliser) to compensate for camera shake and a stepping motor for smooth, quiet autofocus. It is well-suited for travel and street photography where a long reach is needed without the bulk of traditional telephoto lenses. Used examples should be checked for the integrity of the retractable barrel mechanism; it should lock and unlock cleanly without resistance. SDS inspects the internal optics for dust and verifies the effectiveness of the Mega O.I.S. system. Given its plastic construction, the mount and filter threads should be checked for cross-threading or cracks. Ensure the zoom ring operates smoothly across the entire range and that the autofocus remains consistent at both the wide and telephoto ends.
