Panasonic Lumix S Pro 16-35mm f/4

Really nice and light lens with great colour. Some people will be disappointed about F/4 Max aperture but the high ISO performance on the S series more than makes up for this;'I'd prefer the smaller body over F/2.8 any day as I'd not really shoot that shallow DOF anyway. No lens stabiliser either but you got that in body and wide angle lenses rely on them less regardless. Cannot stress this enough, really sharp with great vivid colours, perfect for video and landscapes.

The low inherent levels of distortion and vignetting (not to say other aberrations) will make this lens a sound choice for landscape and architectural photographers and anyone else needing a capable, aberration-free wide angle lens. Although not exactly cheap, its relatively modest price tag puts it within the ‘affordable’ range for its target professional user. This lens is a welcome addition to the growing portfolio of Panasonic lenses with L-mounts, which has now reached six and comprises the 50mm f/1.4, 24-105mm f/4, 70-200mm f/4, 70-200mm f/2.8, 24-70mm f/2.8 and 16-35mm f/4 lenses. The company has promised to add five more lenses in 2020. Sigma has also been making L-mount lenses, with 11 scheduled before the end of 2019 and three more coming in early 2020, so buyers of Panasonic’s S-series cameras won’t be without options.
