What this lens is good for
Portraits and events
A 70-200mm full-frame equivalent at constant f/2.8 in a remarkably compact body, far lighter than any full-frame 70-200mm. With Power OIS it is ideal for portraits, events, and indoor sports, giving consistent exposure and subject separation through the zoom range.
Telephoto travel and video
The compact size and stabilisation make it a practical telephoto for travel and video, where a full-frame equivalent of this reach and aperture would be far bulkier. It coordinates with Panasonic Dual IS for steady handheld footage. Full guide →
Dual IS compatibility
This lens triggers Dual IS on compatible Panasonic bodies, combining lens OIS with body IBIS for improved stabilisation.
