Panasonic 70-200mm f/4.0 OIS S Pro

Lenses 70-200 mm are highly valued among reportage photographers, wedding photographers and photo hunters for shy animals. Accurately such a range of focal lengths covers the considered “gun” from Panasonic.

Leica certification

In 2019, the model became the first sign of the Japanese brand among telephoto lenses for its own guard of full-frame mirrorless cameras. It remains in demand to this day. The optical design of the lens is certified by Leica, which is confirmed by the prefix PRO in the expanded name of the telephoto and generates high expectations in terms of image quality. Looking ahead, the model fully justifies them.

Optical stabilization system

By the nature of the picture, you can’t really dig into the telephoto lens — it produces a sharp image with a minimum level of aberrations throughout the entire zoom range. Motion in the frame is effectively eliminated by the optical image stabilization system, which, when working side-by-side with the Panasonic in-camera full-frame stub, allows you to compensate for up to 6 exposure levels when shooting handheld or in low light conditions. The optical stabilizer switch is placed directly on the lens body.

soft bokeh

The Panasonic Lumix S PRO 70-200mm f/4 OIS has no problems with autofocus either. In addition , the model draws soft bokeh with the contours of objects of the correct round shape in the blur zone. In terms of optical quality, it is second only to the Panasonic Lumix S PRO 70-200mm f/2.8 OIS TV. However, this one costs 1.5-2 times more.
