Lumix S 70 300Mm F4.5 5.6 Macro O.i.s.lens

The Panasonic Lumix S 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 MACRO O.I.S. is a telephoto zoom with macro capability, designed for full-frame L-mount cameras. It boasts outstanding image quality across the frame which makes it possible to give exceptionally impressive stills and videos. It also provides high-speed, high precision AF and Dual I.S. (image stabilisation) for agile mobility in a wide range of shooting situations. Optical excellence Using state-of-the-art optical technology, the optimum alignment of 17 lens elements in 11 groups including one UED (Ultra Extra-low Dispersion) lens, two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses and one UHR (Ultra-High Refractive Index) effectively suppresses both axial chromatic aberration at the tele-end and chromatic aberration of magnification at the wide-end. Specifically, the UHR lens achieves uniform image quality from the centre to the edges of the image while contributing to the ability to optimise the compact size of the lens. Macro capability & bokeh With an outstanding minimum focusing distance of 54cm, the Lumix S 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 Macro O.I.S. achieves maximum magnification of 0.5x (at 300mm), realising half life-size macro photography and videography. The rounded aperture with its 11-bladed iris diaphragm provides a beautifully circular bokeh over the entire zoom range. Dual I.S. & fast AF Combining the O.I.S.(Optical Image Stabiliser) in the lens and the Body I.S. in the LUMIX S Series cameras, the Dual I.S. (Image Stabiliser) system compensates for handshake, making it possible to use a 5.5-stop slower shutter speed. The focus control with a maximum 480 fps high-speed sensor drive realises fast, high-precision AF. Compact, rugged design Despite that the Lumix S 70-300mm is compact and light-weight allowing for comfortable mobility. The rugged dust/splash-resistant*3 design withstands use under harsh conditions even at 10 degrees below zero. In addition, the fluorine coating on the front element repels water and oil. The filter diameter is 77mm. | Panasonic Lumix S 70-300Mm F4.5-5.6 Macro O.i.s.lens In Black
