Panasonic LUMIX S PRO 70-200mm f/2.8 O.I.S. Lens for L Mount, Bundle with Tiffen 82mm UV and CPL Filters

When capturing life's most dynamic moments, the LUMIX S PRO 70-200mm F 2.8 O. I. S. lens emerges as the quintessential tool for professional photographers and videographers alike. This high-quality, large-aperture telephoto zoom lens is engineered for precision and durability, delivering exceptional performance across its entire zoom range. Crafted with an intricate optical structure comprising 22 elements in 17 groups, this lens incorporates 2 UED (Ultra Extra-low Dispersion) and 3 ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses. This advanced design effectively minimizes axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration of magnification. An aspherical lens element further corrects astigmatism, ensuring high resolving power and crisp image quality from center to corner, even when operating at the maximum aperture of f/ 2.8.

The innovative double focus system of the LUMIX S PRO 70-200mm F 2.8 O. I. S. lens maintains consistent aberration suppression throughout the focusing range, which is particularly beneficial for close-up shots. This versatile lens covers a focal length from 70mm to 200mm, and when paired with a Teleconverter, it can achieve super telephoto lengths of up to 280mm ( 1.4 x with DMW-STC14) and 400mm (2x with DMW-STC20)*1, accompanied by a rapid 480 fps focus control system for swift and precise autofocus. Incorporating Panasonic's renowned O. I. S.

(Optical Image Stabilization), this lens works in concert with in-camera Body I. S. and 5-Axis Dual I. S. systems, allowing photographers to utilize shutter speeds up to 7 stops slower without compromising image sharpness. The focus clutch mechanism facilitates seamless AF/MF switching and enables meticulous manual focus control. The constant F 2.8 aperture of the LUMIX S PRO 70-200mm F 2.8 O. I. S. lens not only allows for excellent low-light performance but also creates a smooth, aesthetically pleasing bokeh effect, rendering a beautifully blurred background that accentuates the sharpness of the subject.

This lens is also optimized for video recording, with a design that minimizes focus breathing - a common challenge with lenses intended primarily for still photography. Built to withstand the rigors of fieldwork, the lens features a durable, dust and splash-resistant construction that can endure harsh weather conditions, even in temperatures as low as 10 degrees below zero. The professional-grade build is complemented by an 82mm filter thread, which is compatible with the included Hoya NXT Plus 82mm UV+CPL Filter Kit. This kit enhances image clarity and provides additional lens protection, while the 11-blade circular aperture diaphragm contributes to the lens's ability to produce a natural and appealing bokeh.

The bundle also includes a comprehensive cleaning kit and a microfiber cleaning cloth, ensuring that your lens remains in pristine condition for every shoot. Whether for capturing fast-paced sports, intimate portraits, or expansive landscapes, the LUMIX S PRO 70-200mm F 2.8 O. I. S. lens is a professional's choice for reliability, versatility, and impeccable image quality.
