Panasonic is introducing three new L-Mount interchangeable lenses for its LUMIX S-series full-frame mirrorless cameras. All interchangeable lenses in the LUMIX S series offer high performance, while the āLUMIX S PROā lenses also exhibit the highest optical performance, certified by LEICA to meet its rigorous standards. Panasonic plans to expand its lineup of lenses for the new full-frame system to 10 models by 2020.
Panasonic LUMIX S PRO 50mm F1 lens.4
LUMIX S PRO 50 mm F1.4 provides smooth transitions from sharp foregrounds to out-of-focus backgrounds and produces very natural images of incredible depth. The soft and pleasing bokeh effect in the background helps turn an everyday scene into a dramatic shot.
LUMIX S PRO lenses meet LEICAās stringent requirements. Even at open apertures, they offer impressive resolution across the entire frame. The combination of a linear and stepper motor and dual focus system provides 480 fps autofocus control, so you wonāt miss any more priceless moments. The LUMIX S-series lenses offer impressive creative potential and are the perfect choice for full-frame LUMIX cameras.
Optical design consists of 13 elements in 11 groups, including 2 aspherical lenses and 3 extra-low dispersion Aspherical lens elements ASPH also allow for reduced size and weight, while effectively preventing spherical aberration and distortion. Ultra-low dispersion ED lenses correct chromatic aberration, producing sharp, contrasty images with clear colors throughout the frame.
Panasonic LUMIX S PRO 70-200 mm F4 O lens.I.S.
Shooting outdoors requires high sensitivity and mobility. Working over a wide range of focal lengths from 70 mm to 200 mm telephoto, the LUMIX S PRO 70-200 mm F4 O.I.S. is an excellent choice for portraits, sports, wildlife and a variety of other genres. These functions are further enhanced by the ability to connect teleconverters with 1.4x or 2.0x magnification.

LUMIX S PRO lenses meet LEICAās stringent requirements and deliver impressive resolution throughout the entire zoom range. They offer impressive creative potential and are the ideal choice for full-frame LUMIX cameras.
Lens optics consists of 23 elements in 17 groups including 1 aspherical lens, 1 ultra-low dispersion lens, 3 ultra-low dispersion lenses and 1 ultra-high refractive index UHR lens. Aspherical lenses ASPH also help achieve reduced size and weight, while effectively preventing spherical aberration and distortion. Ultra-low dispersion ED and ultra-low dispersion UED lenses correct chromatic aberrations to produce sharp, high contrast images with clear colors throughout the frame. An ultra-high refractive index UHR lens increases optical performance, allowing you to reduce size and weight and ensuring equally good image quality throughout the frame.
Panasonic LUMIX S 24-105 mm F4 MACRO O lens.I.S.
LUMIX S 24-105 mm F4 MACRO O lens.I.S. Combines a range of focal lengths from wide-angle 24mm to 105mm medium telephoto. Delivers 0.5x magnification at a minimum focus distance of 0.3m.

Whatās more, the high-speed and high-precision autofocus system 0.08 sec based on linear motor and 480 fps control is combined with a 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 with 6 stop compensation, allowing you to shoot even the most unpredictable scenes with confidence. This lens has impressive creative potential and is the perfect choice for full-frame LUMIX cameras.
The optical scheme of the lens has 16 elements in 13 groups, including 2 aspherical ultra-low dispersion lenses, 2 aspherical lenses, 1 ultra-low dispersion lens and 2 ultra-low dispersion lenses. The ultra-low dispersion ED aspherical lens ASPH helps reduce size and weight, while allowing you to capture high-resolution contrast images with no drop in image quality around the edges. Ultra-low dispersion ED and ultra-low dispersion UED lenses correct chromatic aberration, producing sharp, contrasty images with clean colors throughout the frame
All lenses are dust- and waterproof and designed to operate in temperatures down to -10 Ā°C, coping well with harsh conditions. Their internal lens system is reliably protected against sand, rain and other influences, allowing you to shoot safely in harsh conditions.

look very impressive with their wide aperture, sharpness, and versatility. However, Iām curious how these lenses compare to other renowned brands in terms of image quality, autofocus performance, and overall value for money. Has anyone had the chance to test them out and can share their experiences? Would greatly appreciate any input before making a decision. Thanks!
look impressive with their high resolution and advanced features. However, Iām wondering if they are compatible with older Lumix cameras or only the new full-frame S series? Are there any plans for Panasonic to release similar lenses for their other camera models as well?
What are the noticeable improvements in Panasonicās new lenses for full-frame Lumix S cameras, and how do they outperform the previous lens models?
