Lumix S PRO 70-200mm f/2.8 O.I.S. Lens with UV Filter Kit Overview

Complementing the lens itself, the Panasonic Lumix S PRO 70-200mm f/2.8 O.I.S. Lens with UV Filter Kit from B&H bundles the fast telephoto zoom with an 82mm UV filter.

Panasonic Lumix S PRO 70-200mm f/2.8 O.I.S. Lens

Developed to be the workhorse for events, portraiture, and other mid-length subjects, the Panasonic Lumix S PRO 70-200mm f/2.8 O.I.S. is an L-mount telephoto zoom characterized by a bright f/2.8 constant maximum aperture and sophisticated optical and focusing performance. The optics layout incorporates several aspherical and low dispersion elements in order to minimize chromatic and spherical aberrations throughout the zoom range for higher clarity, sharpness, and accurate rendering. 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. A focus clutch also enables especially quick switching between AF and MF settings for fine-tuned control. 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.

Telephoto zoom is designed for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras, however can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 105-300mm equivalent focal length range.
Bright constant f/2.8 maximum aperture maintains consistent illumination throughout the zoom range and affords greater control over depth of field.
One aspherical element helps to minimize distortions and spherical aberrations throughout the zoom range in order to maintain edge-to-edge sharpness and illumination.
Two ultra extra-low dispersion elements and three extra-low dispersion elements greatly reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing in order to produce a high degree of clarity and color accuracy.
A double focus system employs both a linear motor and a stepping motor to deliver impressively fast, precise, and quiet autofocus performance. A focus clutch mechanism has also been incorporated, which allows for near-instant AF/MF switching.
Focusing system has been designed to suppress focus breathing for greater versatility when used for video applications.
Optical Image Stabilizer minimizes the appearance of camera shake b for sharper handheld shooting, and also supports the Dual I.S. and Dual I.S. 2.0 functions for increased stabilization performance up to approximately seven stops.
Splash, dust, and freezeproof design benefits working in inclement weather conditions down to -14°F.
Rounded 11-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
Removable rotating tripod collar with Arca-type dovetail is included and benefits working with the lens atop a tripod or monopod.
Compatible with optional DMW-STC14 and DMW-STC20 teleconverters to further extend the reach of this lens.

Chiaro Pro 82mm 98-UVATS UV Filter

The Pro 82mm 98-UVATS UV Filter is one of Chiaro’s highest-rated protective UV filters with 98% light transmission. It’s ideal for photographers of all levels who demand high-quality glass and other essential features for excellent image fidelity and construction.

To achieve 98% light transmission, Chiaro uses highly-polished optical glass, multi-coating, and additional advanced elements that improve the filter’s light transmission. A scratch-resistant coating minimizes scratching of the glass and helps assure that water, oil, dust, and fingerprints are removed with a gentle wipe. Its hard-anodized aluminum filter ring is designed to screw on and off effortlessly, and it is thin to prevent vignetting when used with wide-angle lenses. Side knurling helps assure that you’ll have a firm grip when attaching or removing your filter.

Image quality is what matters most at Chiaro. The company has tested and combined many features and essentials to achieve superior image quality and the highest light transmission. To help take the confusion out of selecting a filter, Chiaro prominently displays the light transmission levels so that you can choose the perfect filter for your lens and photo session.

98% Light Transmission
Protecting your lens doesn't mean you have to lose optical quality. By using highly-polished optical glass and advanced coatings, Chiaro offers a 98% transmission rate, which is an excellent transmission rate for glass. And the company verifies the ratings with ISO certified lab testing.
Resistance Coating
The layers of advanced resistance coating on the filter are designed to resist moderate scratches, and allow you to easily clean your filter. Water beads up and rolls off your filter, and oil and fingerprints can come off with a gentle wipe. Dust and debris won't adhere to the filter and can be removed with a puff of air.
Polished Optical Glass
Glass that's polished to perfection is essential to achieve a high level of light transmission. The optical glass in this Chiaro filter is highly-polished for flatness that ensures excellent optical clarity.
Multi-Coating
Multi-coating enhances light transmission to the demanding level set for all Chiaro filters. It reduces unwanted internal reflections and ghosting that can compromise your images.
UV Protection
The filter blocks UV light and reduces the bluish cast of daylight that can affect color accuracy, especially at higher altitudes.
Hard Anodized Aluminum Construction
The process of hard anodizing toughens and strengthens the aluminum for a lightweight yet durable filter ring.
Slim Design
Measuring only 3.2mm, this filter is slim enough to use on wide-angle lenses without experiencing vignetting.
Top and Side Knurling
In addition to top knurling, Chiaro added side knurling to better grip the filter when you're attaching and removing it, or when you're stacking filters.
Secure Attachment
It takes two full turns to mount the filter on your lens. This feature will securely hold your Chiaro filter through the most demanding photo shoots.
Front Threads
The front threads on the filter allow you to stack filters by screwing them onto your Chiaro filter.

Lumix S PRO 70-200mm f/2.8 O.I.S. Lens with UV Filter Kit Reviews

Hoping that I get many years of use with this lens

By Clay
Rated 4 out of 5

I did want to write a review of this lens as it is a little surprising there are so few, this being Panasonic’s most expensive and often discussed S Pro lens.  I am using this lens on a Lumix S5IIX and it is replacing the Canon EF 70-200/2.8L IS USM II / Sigma MC-21adapter combination I was using. I can say the Panasonic lens definitely focuses faster & better, where sometimes the Canon cannot find focus at all, which is not that surprising. I did a lot of side by side testing, and it really was hard to determine which actually produced a better image. That being said, they both produce really amazing images. The Panasonic has noticeably less chromatic aberration which was a large reason I wanted to purchase an L mount 70-200 and not use an adapter with EF lenses. In terms of weight, with the tripod collar removed, the Panasonic barely weighs more than my Canon/Sigma adapter combination does. I will state that I purchased the Panasonic S Pro 24-70 lens about 6 months before this lens. I chose the Panasonic 70-200 over the Sigma 70-200, largely to stay consistent with my two main lenses that I would be using in terms of glass and operational functions. Before purchasing, I did reach out to Panasonic to try and figure out where the 70-200 lens was made. They responded that the 70-200 was made in Japan, which I later learned is in fact, not correct. While the 24-70 S PRO is made in Japan, the 70-200 S PRO is made in China. The S Pro 70-200 that I received does not appear to have a visible serial number stamped on it in any location that I can visibly see with a magnifying glass. I have looked several times for it. The S Pro 24-70 does have a visible serial number on it. I think Panasonic needs to step up its maintenance of its online warranty registration portal. After registering this new lens, I realize I still have Panasonic lenses dating back to 5/22 that are still in “submitted – pending approval” status in the Lumix Pro portal. Should I have an issue with their lens, hopefully they will honor the three year warranty that you are given when registering. I am a huge fan of Sigma, but I was concerned about the numerous Sigma 24-70 reviews indicating that dust could/would get in their lens, and was a primary reason I opted for the Panasonic 24-70 S Pro. Since I made that decision & purchase, Sigma has updated the 24-70. In hindsight, if I knew the Sigma update 24-70 lens was on the way, I probably would have purchased both of these lenses in the Sigma brand. It is my perception that Sigma is doing much more to update & improve their products and their online presence & customer service is excellent.  Clearly I am somewhat of a Lumix loyalist as indicated by the choices I have made here.

Heavy...but a real workhorse w/ great image stabilization!

Yes, it's heavy and huge, but it (and/or the 24-70mm S lens) always travels with my S1 and/or S1R. Kudos to the team at Panasonic --- The combination of the lens IS and the body IS does wonders for images requiring use of zoom, even when handheld.

I had breathing problems shooting video with the 70-300 Lumix. Is that a problem with this lens?
Asked by: Douglas
The Lumix S PRO 70-200mm f/2.8 O.I.S lens may exhibit minor instances of focus breathing under certain shooting conditions. While this phenomenon is present, its impact is minimal and should not significantly affect the overall user experience. -M
