Description — Panasonic 28-200mm f/4-7.1 MACRO O.I.S.
The Panasonic LUMIX S 28-200mm f/4-7.1 MACRO O.I.S. is a full-frame zoom lens designed for L-Mount mirrorless cameras, offering a focal length range of 28mm to 200mm. That span takes you from wide-angle coverage at 28mm all the way out to 200mm at the telephoto end — a genuinely useful range for a wide variety of shooting scenarios without needing to carry multiple lenses. The lens features Optical Image Stabilization (O.I.S.), built directly into the lens to help reduce the effects of camera shake, particularly relevant at longer zoom settings.
It supports both autofocus and manual focus, giving photographers control over how they acquire and lock focus depending on the situation. The maximum aperture of f/4 is available at the wide end. The filter thread is 77mm, a popular and widely supported diameter.
Total weight comes in at 655g, making it a manageable companion for travel or all-day shooting. Compatible exclusively with L-Mount mirrorless systems.
