The LUMIX S PRO 70-200mm F2.8 O.I.S. (S-E70200) is a large-aperture telephoto zoom lens that boasts high descriptive performance across the entire zoom range. It is designed and developed for professional field shooting.

The lens comprisses of 22 elements in 17 groups, the use of 2 UED (Ultra Extra-low Dispersion) lenses, 3 ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses to suppress axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration of magnification.

Astigmatism is also corrected with an aspherical lens, achieving high resolving performance. Adoption of a double focus system suppresses fluctuation of aberration even at close distances, which results in high descriptive performance from the center to the corners over the entire zoom range despite its large aperture.

Using a teleconverter allows maximum 280mm (1.4x, with DMW-STC14) and 400mm (2x, with DMW-STC20) super telephoto shooting.

Adoption of a focus clutch mechanism enables instant AF/MF switching and accurate manual focusing.

The filter size is 82 mm, with an 11-blade circular aperture diaphragm.

For the AF actuator, a double-magnet linear motor is integrated that enables fast, high-precision autofocus.

The filter size is 77 mm, with a 9-blade circular aperture diaphragm.
