Description — Panasonic 100mm f/2.8 Macro
The Panasonic Lumix S 100mm f/2.8 Macro is a dedicated prime lens designed for the L-Mount mirrorless system, covering a full-frame image circle. With a fixed 100mm focal length and a maximum aperture of f/2.8, the lens is built to serve macro photographers who need strong optical reach and light-gathering performance. Both autofocus and manual focus modes are supported, giving shooters the ability to adapt their focusing approach to the demands of the scene.
The lens weighs 700g and features a 67mm filter thread, making it compatible with a wide range of commonly available filter accessories such as polarizers and ND filters. Image stabilization is not included in the lens itself, so photographers should factor in whether their camera body offers in-body stabilization when planning handheld macro or low-light work. As a prime lens built specifically for the L-Mount ecosystem, it offers a clear and focused purpose for detail, close-up, and macro-oriented shooting on full-frame mirrorless cameras.
