Lumix S zoom lens 28-200mm/ F4-7.1 MAKRO O.I.S.
The Lumix S lens series is extended with the S-R28200E, an ultra-compact zoom lens with optical image stabilizer and 0.5x macro magnification. Measuring just φ77.3 x 93.4 mm and 413 g, it is the world’s smallest and lightest full-frame zoom lens*, making it the perfect companion for traveling, trekking and many other occasions.
The lens has a fast, precise autofocus, impresses with smooth exposure changes, a beautiful bokeh and is perfect for both photos and videos. It has the same 67mm filter thread and similar dimensions to the F1.8 fixed focal length series and the 100mm macro lens, making it particularly interesting for gimbal users.
When traveling and on excursions with small luggage, you will never miss a subject with this focal length. From macro, landscapes and portraits to distant telephoto shots of animals, for example, the range of motifs is wide. It is also protected against dust and splash water and remains fully operational in cold temperatures of up to -10 degrees Celsius.
Extremely compact – the smallest and lightest full-frame zoom lens in the world*
Versatile – high zoom range from 28 to 200 mm, built-in O.I.S. and 0.5x macro f. Uncompromising image quality – high resolution and beautiful bokeh
Video optimized – minimized focus breathing & smooth exposure changes
Robustness – dust, splash and frost resistant
Efficient workflows – 67mm filter thread & approximately the same size as the F1.8 lens series
