Brand Panasonic System Panasonic Lumix S

The Panasonic LUMIX S 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 MACRO O.I.S. is a full-frame L-mount telephoto zoom that also does half-macro work, reaching 0.5x magnification at 300mm with a minimum focus of 0.74 m. Seventeen elements in eleven groups, including a UED element, a UHR element, and two ED elements, keep chromatic aberration under control at the long end where it usually shows up first.

At 790 g it balances well on an S5 or S1 body without a tripod collar, and optical stabilization combines with in-body stabilization for Dual I.S. 2 rated up to 5.5 stops. The barrel is sealed against dust and splashes down to minus 10 degrees Celsius, with a zoom lock switch to stop creep on a strap. If you shoot wildlife, field sports, or close-up detail and want one lens to cover it, we can put one in your hands at the shop.

Buy from an authorized Panasonic dealer like Camera West to ensure a genuine product with full manufacturer warranty and expert support.

Half Macro at 300mm

At the long end the lens focuses to 0.74 m for 0.5x magnification, which is half life size on a full-frame sensor. That is real close-up capability from a working distance that does not spook insects, and it is the reason MACRO is in the name rather than a marketing flourish.

Stabilization That Matters at 300mm

Optical stabilization in the lens pairs with in-body stabilization on compatible LUMIX S cameras for Dual I.S. 2, rated by Panasonic at up to 5.5 stops. Long telephoto handheld work is where that math pays off, especially late in the day.

Video Manners

Focus breathing is suppressed, a linear AF motor keeps focus pulls quiet, and zoom position tracking has been tightened so framing shifts less as you zoom. A zoom lock switch keeps the barrel from creeping while the lens hangs on a strap.
