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 launched in 2024 as a compact constant-aperture standard zoom for the L-Mount full-frame system. It pairs with the S5 II and S5 IIX, offering professional f/2.8 speed in a more portable package than the 24-70mm f/2.8.
Optically very good — sharp across the frame with well-controlled distortion and chromatic aberration. The constant f/2.8 aperture maintains consistent exposure and depth of field throughout the zoom range. Takes full advantage of Panasonic's phase-detect hybrid AF on newer bodies.
L-Mount with 67mm filter thread. Weighs approximately 405g — remarkably light for a constant f/2.8 zoom. Weather-sealed dust and splash resistant construction. Minimum focus distance 18cm — excellent for close-up work. Internal zoom design.
Very limited used availability as a 2024 release. The shorter 24-60mm range trades 10mm of reach for significant size and weight savings over 24-70mm f/2.8 alternatives. Excellent value proposition for L-Mount shooters who want f/2.8 without the bulk.
