Panasonic Lumix S Pro 70-200mm F2.8 lens

The LUMIX S PRO 70-200mm F2.8 O.I.S. (S-E70200) is a large-aperture telephoto zoom lens that boasts high descriptive performance across the entire zoom range. It is designed and developed for professional field shooting. The use of a Teleconverter allows maximum 280mm (1.4x, with DMW-STC14) and 400mm (2x, with DMW-STC20) super telephoto shooting*, with maximum 480 fps focus control for high-speed, high-precision auto focus. *Use of the teleconverter reduces the effective aperture by one f/stop (DMW-STC14) or two f/stops (DMW-STC20).

• F2.8 large-aperture telephoto zoom lens for professional field shooting
• Special lenses and optimum alignment effectively suppress any aberrations
• The O.I.S. technology enables sharp blur-free images
• High descriptive performance in both photo shooting and video recording
• The rugged dust/splash/freeze-resistant design for high mobility
• Teleconverter DMW-STC14 or DMW-STC20 can be mounted (sold separately)

Comprising 22 elements in 17 groups, the use of 2 UED lenses, 3 ED lenses and optimum alignment effectively suppresses both axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration of magnification. Astigmatism is also corrected with an aspherical lens, achieving high resolving performance. Adoption of a double focus system suppresses fluctuation of aberration even at close distances, which results in high descriptive performance from the center to the corners over the entire zoom range despite its large aperture.

The O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) technology built directly into the lens ensures your photos will look great, with sharp blur-free contours across the entire picture. Adoption of a focus clutch mechanism enables instant AF/MF switching and accurate manual focusing.

The constant F2.8 large aperture provides smooth defocus gradation from the focus peak to the neighboring area of the image to achieve a beautiful bokeh effect as well as a rich perspective. The LUMIX S PRO 70-200mm F2.8 O.I.S. also excels in video recording performance with a mechanism that suppresses focus breathing, which was a fatal problem in all interchangeable lenses designed for still image photography.

The rugged dust/splash-resistant* design withstands use under harsh conditions even at 10 degrees below zero for high mobility. *Dust and Splash Resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this lens is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.
