Large-aperture standard zoom for L-mount full-frame.
Panasonic’s LUMIX S 24-60mm F2.8 is a compact, fast standard zoom designed for L-mount full-frame systems. It covers the wide to mid-telephoto range with a constant f/2.8 aperture, enabling strong low-light performance and shallow depth of field for both stills and video. The lens emphasizes compactness without sacrificing performance, featuring dust- and splash-resistant construction suitable for hybrid shooters who travel light but still want pro-level optical quality. It is compatible with L-Mount Alliance bodies from Panasonic, Leica, and Sigma, providing broad ecosystem integration for stills and video.
