Panasonic LUMIX S 100mm f/2.8 Macro Overview

Exceptionally Lightweight
An ultra-compact medium-telephoto lens designed for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras, the Lumix S 100mm f/2.8 Macro Lens from Panasonic offers a unique perspective for capturing portraits and detailed close-ups. Panasonic's incorporation of their dual phase linear motor system ensures high-speed autofocusing performance. Sporting a highly lightweight design, this lens weighs just 10.5 oz, making it ideal for traveling with. Chromatic and spherical aberrations are greatly reduced by the lens's construction, which includes three aspherical elements.
Dual Phase Linear Motor
A newly developed dual phase linear motor suppresses focus breathing and allows near-silent lens operation. Not only is this motor a benefit for still photography, it is also a great asset for capturing high-quality video.

Aside from providing high lens performance, this compact motor design reduces the overall size and allows for class-leading mobility.

Macro Design
A 1:1 magnification ratio and a minimum focusing distance of 8" is available for working with close-up subjects. The featured 9-bladed circular diaphragm creates flattering, round bokeh.

Focus bracketing with this lens allows you to capture images at multiple focal points and avoid an excessively shallow depth of field in your images.

Optical Design and Lens Construction
The Lumix S 100mm f/2.8 delivers crisp image sharpness while maintaining its compactness by incorporating three aspherical elements, two ultra extra-low dispersion elements, and one extra-low dispersion element. Additionally, this design greatly contributes to reducing chromatic and spherical aberrations.

Featured on the exterior of the lens is a focus mode switch for quickly alternating between auto and manual focus. Directly next to it is a focus range selector switch that allows you to choose between 0.204-0.5m, 0.5m-∞, and FULL.

Weather-Resistant
Both dust- and splash-resistant, the Lumix S 100mm f/2.8 can operate at temperatures as low as 14°F.

Quickly becoming an all time favorite/useful lens

When I saw this lens came out and saw the size of the lens I thought I would have to at least try it out. Since purchasing this lens the lens is quickly becoming one of my all time favorite and most useful lenses. I've used other macros before but never really enjoyed using them because they were all so physically big. Panasonic hit a home run in my opinion here with the size/weight of this lens. To make it this small they didn't include optical stabilization in the lens... but that's a trade off I happily accept since the Panasonic bodies have great stabilization. Comparing the equivalent macros lenses on other systems you will see that this lens is more than HALF the weight and much much smaller... for me this means I end up using it more and actually have taken it with me on trips vs always leaving my macro at home when i've used previous systems. I've used this lens for shooting macro shots of food we cook at home, for scanning 35mm film, for archiving old prints in photo books, for product photography, for landscape work and for portraits (outstanding for headshots - I dial down the clarity/texture in LR to take a little of the sharpness for portraits). I could not be happier with this lens. I've used it much more than I thought I would. It's been incredibly sharp in all of the situations I have used it in and I've had so much fun using this lens. Great job Panasonic. A lens like this makes me think twice about switching to another system whenever the latest and greatest comes out.
