The \"DG\" designation means this lens is designed to cover full-frame sensors. While it functions perfectly on APS-C L-mount cameras (like the Leica CL or TL2, where it provides a 24-42mm equivalent view), it is optimized to utilize the full sensor width of full-frame bodies like the Panasonic Lumix S5 II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003eAdditionally, because this lens prioritizes a highly compact form factor (the Contemporary line) over the absolute zero-distortion clinical perfection of heavier lenses (the Art line), you may notice slight optical distortion at the 16mm end when looking at unedited raw files. However, this is easily and automatically corrected in-camera or by using the built-in lens profiles in standard editing software like Adobe Lightroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x_elementToProof\"\u003e\u003cb data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eWhy Shop With Camera Exchange?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"5,1\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x_elementToProof\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFast Shipping:\u003c\/b\u003e We ship all orders within one business day.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x_elementToProof\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eExpert Packaging:\u003c\/b\u003e Your gear is packed professionally to ensure safe transit.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"x_elementToProof\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCombined Shipping:\u003c\/b\u003e Buying multiple items?
