Covering a versatile and popular range of focal lengths, the LUMIX S PRO 70-200mm f/4 O.I.S. from Panasonic is an L-mount telephoto zoom featuring an f/4 constant maximum aperture. A sophisticated optical design is employed, which incorporates a series of aspherical, low dispersion, and high refractive index elements, to control a variety of aberrations, color fringing, and distortion for sharp, clear, well-corrected imagery throughout the zoom range. Complementing the optics is a unique double focus system, which utilizes both a linear motor and a stepping motor, to provide especially fast and precise focusing performance. Additionally, an Optical Image Stabilizer reduces the effects of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting and the lens sports a weather-sealed design for use in harsh conditions.

Panasonic Lumix S PRO 70-200mm f/4 Reviews
Great lens for its range
The lens is both quick and sharp. its effective range is somewhat limited, but in that range it is 100% effective. I've not run into issues with it being an F4, as ISO has almost always been able to compensate without issue.
Excellent in Every Way
The Lumix S Pro 70-200mm f/4.0 is an excellent lens from every angle---optically first-rate; relatively small and light for this zoom range, due to its fixed f/4.0 maximum aperture, including internal zooming to boot; very well made; with a handy slip-down ring to switch to manual focusing and reveal its depth-of-field scale; fast autofocus; weather sealing; and given its drastically reduced sale price, it moves from an excellent value for the money to become now a near-irresistible bargain.
