Panasonic's compact L-Mount standard zoom — constant f/2.8 from 24-60mm with Phase Hybrid AF compatibility.
The Panasonic Lumix S 24-60mm f/2.8 was released in June 2025 as a compact constant f/2.8 standard zoom for L-mount full-frame bodies, providing the standard photographic range at maximum aperture in a 544g body. At 77mm filter thread and 544g it is substantially lighter than most competing constant f/2.8 full-frame standard zooms. Nine circular aperture blades. Compatible with Panasonic LUMIX S, Leica SL2-S, and Sigma FP L-mount bodies.
The optical design uses 14 elements in 12 groups including 3 aspherical, 1 UED, and 2 ED elements. Nine circular aperture blades. The 77mm filter thread is standard. At 544g the lens is compact for a constant f/2.8 full-frame zoom. Minimum focus distance of 0.19m at the 24-30mm end. Constant f/2.8 aperture. L-mount native communication for full IBIS coordination.
The 544g constant f/2.8 provides meaningful weight reduction over the standard class of f/2.8 full-frame zooms (typically 800-1,000g+). The 0.19m MFD at the wide end enables close environmental framing. For L-mount photographers who prioritise a compact standard zoom at f/2.8, the 24-60mm covers the majority of practical event and portrait focal lengths without the additional 10mm of reach that a 24-70mm provides.
On the used market the Panasonic Lumix S 24-60mm f/2.8 is a June 2025 product with very limited used availability. Condition checks: lens element for marks, 77mm filter thread, and L-mount contacts. Compatible with all L-mount bodies: Panasonic LUMIX S, Leica SL/SL2/SL2-S, and Sigma FP/FP L.
