What this lens is good for
Portraits and events
A 70-200mm full-frame equivalent at constant f/2.8 with Power OIS in a compact body, Panasonic’s telephoto zoom for portraits, events, and indoor sports. The constant aperture holds exposure through the zoom and gives consistent subject separation throughout the range.
Video and travel
The small size and stabilisation make it a practical telephoto for travel and video, coordinating with Dual IS on Panasonic bodies for steady handheld footage. It is far more portable than any full-frame 70-200mm f/2.8 equivalent. Full guide →
Dual IS compatibility
This lens triggers Dual IS on compatible Panasonic bodies, combining lens OIS with body IBIS for improved stabilisation.
