HI Peter!
It is a native m43 lens, designed (so rumour has it) by Sigma, made by
Panasonic and bearing the Leica brand.
I really don't care who designed, made or branded it. It's a terrific lens,
and I'm very pleased I bought it.

Whoa, that OIS is very impressive, David. Was that lens produced in a------
micro 4/3 mount or do you use an adapter from another mounting format
onto your EMI Mk2?
Best regards,
Peter S.

G'Mornin' Peter!
Thanks for your kind words.
I am most impressed with the sharpness of the Leica DG Vario-Elmar,
even if it is a Panasonic-built lens. I am also most impressed with
the Optical Image Stabilization in the lens, as witnessed by this
shot...

which was taken from a moving boat, hand-held, wide open, at a modest
1/500th & ISO 640. The shot has been cropped to about 60% of it's
original.

Wow! The clarity/sharpness is impressive; but so is the technique
and composition. Well done, sir! :)
Best regards,
Peter S.

Good Morning, fellow flexers!
This time, a brown squirrel that was "caught in the act".

I am simply amazed at the abilities of the OIS in the Pana-Leica
100~400. This shot was made, hand-held, at 1/50th of a second,
f6.3, and at 400mm! ISO was 640. By rights, that should be
impossible, but it is readily repeatable with this lens.
Comments, criticism welcomed, as always.
David.
