Panasonic Lumix S 100-500mm F5-7.1 OIS Lens for L Mount

The Panasonic Lumix S 100-500mm f/5-7.1 O.I.S. Lens is the first ultra-telephoto zoom in the Lumix S series, pairing an extended reach with a surprisingly compact 7.7-inch design. Ideal for capturing everything from distant wildlife to the speed of motorsports, it offers crisp resolution and smooth rendering throughout its zoom range thanks to a 19-element, 12-group optical design that produces natural bokeh and seamless transitions between subject and background. Equipped with Dual I.S. 2 providing up to seven stops of stabilization, it ensures sharp handheld shooting even at 500mm. A dual-phase linear motor enables quick, precise autofocus, while focus breathing suppression and micro-step aperture control make it equally reliable for high-quality video. Designed to withstand demanding conditions, its dust, splash, and freeze-resistant build ensures dependable performance in the field. With a 100-500mm range, f/5 to f/40 aperture control, minimum focusing distances of 2.6 feet at 100mm and 4.9 feet at 500mm, and an 11-blade diaphragm for pleasing circular bokeh, it offers both versatility and artistic flexibility. The lens also features a front focus ring that can be reassigned to camera functions, a rotating removable tripod mount for easy orientation shifts, and a built-in smooth/tight ring for customized zoom resistance. Weighing just 2.8 pounds, with an 82mm filter thread and native Leica L-mount, this lens blends portability with professional-grade performance.
