PANASONIC LEICA DG ELMARIT 200MM F2.8 POWER OIS

If you’re a prime purist, Panasonic’s latest Leica-designed telephoto delivers the mouth-watering prospect of an effective 400mm focal length with an effective speed of f2.8. In the D-SLR world, this would cost at least three times more and make for a very big lens indeed. What’s more, Panasonic includes a 1.4x teleconverter in the box so you can have a 560mm f4.0 supertelephoto for free. With Leica having waved its wand over the optics you can expect excellent performance and the weatherproofing extends to insulation which allows for shooting in sub-zero temperatures down to -10 degrees Celsius. $4299.
