Panasonic Lumix S 24-105mm f/4 Macro O.I.S lens

Panasonic Lumix S 24-105mm f/4 Macro O.I.S lens

Covering a versatile wide-angle to short-telephoto range, the Lumix S 24-105mm f/4 Macro O.I.S. from Panasonic is a flexible zoom, featuring a constant f/4 maximum aperture, for an L-mount mirrorless camera. In regard to its optical design, a series of low dispersion and aspherical elements are used to control a variety of aberrations, color fringing, and distortion in order to realize a high degree of sharpness, clarity, and color accuracy. Balancing its optical performance, this zoom is also unique due to is 1:2 maximum magnification ratio and 11.8" minimum focusing distance to suit working with close-up subjects. Additionally, an Optical Image Stabilizer helps to control the effects of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting, and the lens sports a weather-sealed design for use in harsh conditions.

• Standard 24-105mm zoom is designed for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras, however, can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 36-157.5mm equivalent focal length range.
• Constant f/4 maximum aperture maintains consistent illumination throughout the zoom range.
• Four aspherical elements, including two made from extra-low dispersion glass, help to minimize distortions and spherical aberrations throughout the zoom range in order to maintain edge-to-edge sharpness and illumination.
• One ultra extra-low dispersion element and two extra-low dispersion elements greatly reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing in order to produce a high degree of clarity and color accuracy.
• The macro design provides half life-size 1:2 magnification ratio and a minimum focusing distance of 11.8" for working with close-up subjects.
• Optical Image Stabilizer minimizes the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting, and also supports 5-Axis Dual I.S. 2 for increased stabilization performance.
• AF/MF switch permits quick changing between focusing modes and a zoom lock switch can be used to prevent the lens from extending when not in use.
• Splash, dust, and freezeproof design benefits working in inclement weather conditions down to -14°F.
• Rounded nine-blade diaphragm c

The LUMIX S 24-105mm F4 MACRO O.I.S. is designed to keep shooting in the toughest conditions thanks to its dust- and splash-resistant construction and allowing you to shoot in temperatures as low as -10 °C

Optical image stabilization (O.I.S.) technology built directly into the lens ensures your photos will look great, with sharp, blur-free contours across the entire image

Excellent close-up performance with a closest focusing distance of 0.3m and a maximum magnification of 0.5x
