A contemporary take on the classic fast standard zoom, the Panasonic Lumix S PRO 24-70mm f2.8 is an L-mount wide-angle To short-telephoto lens characterized by its constant f2.8 maximum aperture and sophisticated optical design. Aspherical, UHR, and ED elements are used To produce well-corrected imagery with high sharpness, accurate color rendering, and notable clarity throughout the zoom and focus Ranges. Complementing the optics is a double focus system, which utilizes both a linear motor and a stepping motor, To provide especially fast and precise focusing performance. Additionally, the lens sports a weather-sealed design for use in harsh conditions and a rounded 11-blade diaphragm contributes To a pleasing bokeh quality with smooth transitions between the in-focus and out-of-focus regions of the image.
- Standard zoom is designed for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras, however can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 36-105mm equivalent focal length Range.
- Bright constant f2.8 maximum aperture maintains consistent illumination throughout the zoom Range and affords greater control over depth of field.
- Three aspherical elements and one ultra-high refractive index element help To minimize distortions and spherical aberrations throughout the zoom Range in order To maintain edge-to-edge sharpness and illumination.
- Four extra-low dispersion elements greatly reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing in order To produce a high degree of clarity and color accuracy.
- A double focus system employs both a linear motor and a stepping motor To deliver impressively fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance.
- Manual focus clutch allows you To simply push or pull the focusing Range To quickly switch between AF and MF focusing modes.
- Splash, dust, and freezeproof design benefits working in inclement weather conditions down To -14°F.
- Rounded 11-blade diaphragm contributes To a pleasing bokeh quality.
