Panasonic Lumix S 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 OIS Lens
The new L-mount, full-frame lens from Panasonic LUMIX offers users a great focal range to work with along with fast apertures and a very effective optical image stabilisation. The extra 100mm reach over the likes of the Panasonic LUMIX S PRO 70-200mm F4 OIS Lens gets users even closer to the action whilst being able to take advantage of Panasonic’s legendary image stabilisation for clear, shake-free imagery.

Design and Build
The S range from LUMIX has been designed to have a robust dust and splash resistance so you have peace of mind to use the lens in almost any environment. The zoom ring has a firm feel with a precise twist function, so you can ensure you’re reaching the exact focal length you desire.
The focus ring is positioned to the end of the lens and has an easier twist so you can manage a precise configuration with just your fingertips. Very handy if you have the lens at 300mm and want to adjust your manual focus.
Weighing in at 790g (without the lens cap and hood), the lens is incredibly portable when mounted to the lightweight and compact mirrorless camera systems such as the Panasonic LUMIX S5 II and S5 II X.
Performance and Technology
17 elements in 11 groups help to prevent aspherical and distortion aberration whilst keeping the lens lightweight and compact.
Optical image stabilisation allows up to 5.5 stops compensation when used in conjunction with the camera IBIS. Allowing you to produce crisp and shake-free images even when at the furthest focal length of 300mm. The super-quick autofocus system is near-silent which is incredibly useful for wildlife and bird photographers.
An 11 blade diaphragm means the lens can be used for more than sports and wildlife photography. This design can produce incredibly sharp subjects with beautifully soft bokeh so users can capture exquisite portrait or general candid photography.

Compatible with the 1.4x and 2.0x extenders, you can increase the lens’ reach to 600mm without a loss in quality.
A minimum focus distance of 0.5m at 70mm allows you to get closer to your subject and also provides a maximum magnification of 0.5x at 300mm.
Video Capability
Smooth aperture changes ensure there are no jumps in exposure when filming with your LUMIX camera. Silent and smooth autofocusing is essential when recording stunning 4K video and the Panasonic LUMIX S 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 OIS lens certainly delivers this.
Who is the product for?
The 70-300mm focal length certainly lends itself towards sports and wildlife photography but with a fast aperture of f4.5 at 70mm, this lens can also be useful to those working in low-light situations or those looking to capture a beautifully compressed portrait photo. Partner this lens with the 20-60mm LUMIX S lens and you've got a very handy working focal range indeed,
