Panasonic Lumix S PRO 70-200mm f/2.8 O.I.S. Lens

Great for weddings, only really useful on a tripod as it is very heavy but it feels great quality and the images are excellent

I rented this lens for a project and can say it is by far the most advanced, best performing lens I have ever used. It is heavy, however, the image and performance make this a non-issue. I will be purchasing of course. Outstanding

Good Points: The f2.8 on it, but all the features are great. Improvement Points: None found yet.

This lens provides a faster alternative to the Lumix PRO 70-200mm f/4 O.I.S. (S-R70200) lens that was released with the original S1 and S1R cameras. The 70-200mm zoom range can work well for sports and wildlife shooting in some situations as well as being usable for portraiture. The minimum focusing distance of 95 cm provides a maximum magnification of one fifth life size, which is not macro standard, but should be usable for close-ups of subjects like larger flowers and animals. The refined focusing system is well-suited to video and multimedia work, providing smooth and responsive focus, aperture and zoom changes with no audible noise to interfere with soundtracks.
