Panasonic Lumix S 24-60mm F2.8 Lens

Versatile Performance in a Compact Design

Engineered for hybrid creators, its constant f/2.8 brightness ensures consistent exposure and low-light performance across the entire zoom range—from wide 24mm to standard 60mm—making it well suited for landscapes, portraits, street scenes, and handheld video work. Despite its professional optics, it remains remarkably portable at just 1.2 lb and under 4 inches in length. With a minimum focusing distance of just 7.5″ and a maximum magnification of 0.3x, the lens excels at capturing expressive close-ups, whether isolating small details with smooth bokeh or incorporating environmental context. When paired with select Lumix S cameras—including the S1II, S1IIE, S1RII, S5II, S5IIX, and S9—the Hybrid Zoom function can extend focal length digitally up to 187mm, providing added versatility without compromising framing or speed. A standout feature is the dual-function focus ring, which can be reassigned to control aperture or exposure compensation and reversed for a custom feel. Manual focus is supported during zooming, allowing for smooth subject transitions—ideal for videographers. You can also choose between linear mode for mechanical-style consistency or non-linear mode for responsive, speed-based focus shifts. Built with rugged outdoor shooting in mind, the lens is dust-, splash-, and freeze-resistant, and its optics meet the rigorous standards of the L-Mount Alliance for seamless cross-system compatibility.
