PANASONIC LUMIX S PRO 24-70MM f / 2.8

Panasonic Lumix S PRO 24-70mm f / 2.8 lens

A contemporary version of the classic standard fast zoom, the Panasonic Lumix S PRO 24-70 mm f / 2.8 is a short-angle wide-angle telephoto lens with an L mount that is characterized by its constant maximum f / 2.8 aperture and sophisticated optical design. The aspherical elements, UHR and ED are used to produce well-corrected images with high sharpness, accurate color reproduction and remarkable clarity in the zoom and focus ranges. Complementing the optics there is a dual-focus system, which uses a linear motor and a stepper motor, to provide especially fast and precise focusing performance. In addition, the lens has a weatherproof sealed design for use in difficult conditions and a rounded 11-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasant bokeh quality with smooth transitions between the focused and unfocused regions of the image.
The standard zoom is designed for cameras without full-frame L-mount mirror, however, it can also be used with APS-C models where it provides an equivalent focal length range of 36-105 mm.
The bright constant maximum aperture f / 2.8 maintains constant illumination throughout the zoom range and offers greater control over depth of field.
Three aspherical elements and an ultra-high refractive index element help minimize distortions and spherical aberrations throughout the zoom range to maintain sharpness and edge-to-edge illumination.
Four extra-low dispersion elements greatly reduce chromatic aberrations and color stripes to produce a high degree of clarity and color accuracy.
A dual-focus system employs a linear motor and a stepper motor to deliver impressive, fast and accurate autofocus performance.
The manual focus clutch allows you to simply push or pull the focus range to quickly switch between AF and MF focus modes.
Splash, dust and freeze-proof design works in adverse weather conditions up to -14 ° F.
The 11-blade rounded diaphragm contributes to a nice bokeh quality.
