The Panasonic LUMIX S PRO 70-200mm f/4 O.I.S. telephoto zoom lens provides high-resolution, high-contrast images across the entire zoom range. It can be used for wide-ranging situations, from portraits to sports. The Panasonic LUMIX 5-Axis Dual I.S. (Image Stabilizer) 2 system can be used with the LUMIX S PRO as a lens for a full-frame mirrorless camera system. The optical performance of this LUMIX S PRO lens is outstandingly high to clear stringent LEICA standards.

Lens Elements

The lens unit comprises 23 lenses in 17 groups and the use of an aspherical lens and 3 ED (Extralow Dispersion) lenses effectively suppresses both axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration of magnification. Designed in pursuit of optimum lens alignment, it achieves beautiful bokeh with minimum vignetting.

O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer)

The O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) in the lens effectively compensates for the hand-shake movement, making it easy to shoot even without a tripod or in low-lit situations. Complying with the camera’s Body I.S., the 5-Axis Dual I.S. 2 makes it possible to use 6-stop slower shutter speed.

Quick Focusing

The high-precision linear motor achieves sensor drive at a maximum speed of 480 fps for fast auto focusing. The adoption of a focus clutch mechanism enables instant AF/MF switching and accurate manual focusing. The LUMIX S PRO 70-200mm Lens also excels in video recording performance with a mechanism that suppresses focus breathing, which was a fatal problem of all interchangeable lenses designed for still image photography.

Construction

The refined design of the LUMIX S Series provides high operability as a tool for professionals. The rugged dust/splash-resistant design withstands use under harsh conditions even in 10 degrees below zero for high mobility. The filter diameter is 77mm, with a 9-blade circular aperture diaphragm.
