Panasonic 3D LUMIX G 12.5mm f/12 Lens Overview

The Panasonic 3D LUMIX G 12.5mm f/12 Lens is a specialized twin-lens system designed exclusively for capturing 3D still images on Micro Four Thirds cameras, specifically optimized for the Panasonic DMC-GH2. This lens offers a unique dual-lens optical design that simulates human binocular vision, allowing the camera to record images with depth and spatial realism—without the need for complex dual-camera setups.

Panasonic 3D LUMIX G 12.5mm f/12 Lens Dual-Optic Design

Instead of relying on software to simulate depth, this lens uses two optical systems with a 12.5mm focal length to simultaneously capture left and right images. The result is a stereoscopic pair that can be viewed on compatible 3D displays or televisions, creating an immersive visual experience. The fixed aperture of f/12 ensures a deep depth of field, keeping most of the scene in sharp focus.

Panasonic 3D LUMIX G 12.5mm f/12 Lens Compatibility and Requirements

The lens is fully compatible with Panasonic’s Micro Four Thirds system, but 3D functionality is limited to select camera bodies like the DMC-GH2 that support 3D image processing. It's designed for JPEG 3D still capture only and does not support video recording or RAW image output. It’s a niche creative tool aimed at photographers who want to explore stereoscopic photography.
