Description — Panasonic 24-70mm f/2.8
The Panasonic Lumix S PRO 24-70mm f/2.8 is a full-frame standard zoom lens for the L-Mount mirrorless system, covering a 24–70mm focal length range with a constant maximum aperture of f/2.8. This consistent fast aperture across the entire zoom range makes it a reliable choice for photographers who need predictable exposure and depth-of-field control without stopping down as they zoom. The lens supports both autofocus and manual focus, providing operational flexibility across different shooting styles and subjects.
An 82mm filter thread makes it compatible with a wide variety of professional circular filters. At 935g, it is built with the heft expected of a full-frame PRO-series zoom. There is no built-in image stabilization, so users should be aware that any stabilization support will need to come from a compatible camera body.
As a full-frame L-Mount lens, it is designed to work across the growing range of L-Mount alliance mirrorless bodies.
