Panasonic LUMIX S 100mm f/2.8 Macro Overview

From Manufacturer

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.

Panasonic LUMIX S 100mm f/2.8 Macro Reviews

Amazing Macro Lens

By Gerald
Rated 5 out of 5

I've had this lens a few months before writing this review, and I'm still amazed at how sharp this lens is. This lens can be used as a portrait lens as well as macro and other general purpose work, if you are able to maintain some distance from the subject. Also this lens is amazingly small for a lens of this type. Note that this lens is more expensive than the other Lumix S lenses as this lens (and the 18mm) is a complex design with 13 elements, and still comes in at under 300g for a full frame, 100mm, f/2.8 macro. Lumix price is proportional to lens complexity, as it should be. It's hard to beat this lens for performance, versatility, size & weight, and value.

Amazing and lightweight

Can’t believe how light this lens is for a macro. Sharp, fast, and autofocus works really well in terms of immediately getting you within striking distance so you quickly fine tune on your subject.
