Panasonic Lumix S 24-105mm f/4 Macro Reviews
Very Versatile Lens
Coming from Micro 43, this lens is definitely bigger than heavier than Micro 43 lenses I used to have. It is very versatile though because it covers a good focal length from wide angle to portrait plus the advantage of 1:2 macro capability. It is a great all-rounder lens.
Nice all in one/travel lens
I bought it with the S5II body. Overall I'm happy with the item. I have had it for a few weeks, and I've shoot both photos and videos. I did not do an extensive test, just put it to moderate use. So far, sharpness is good enough for me, bokeh is more than what I expected from an F4. I like the constant F4, I really love the 24-105mm range and stabilization (I came from the Tamron 28-200mm for E mount, which I always wish a wider end and stabilization). The size and weight (along with the S5II body) is a bit bigger than I expected, but I'm willing to accept it considering everything it offers. It balances ok with the S5Ii body. I did find the focus to be a bit slow sometimes, and this could also be the body not the lens. What I can say is, after using it for a couple weeks, I sold my Sony A7III and Tamron 28-200. Pro: range of focal length some macro ability stabilization sharpness more bokeh than I expected from a F4 having switches on the lens Con: some soap bubble effect in the bokeh, looks a little busy size and weight focus is a bit slow sometimes
