Panasonic Lumix S 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 L-Mount Lens

Lumix S 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6
The Best “Go-To” Kit Lens Ever

The LUMIX S 20-60mm F3.5-5.6 is a compact, lightweight standard zoom lens in a L-mount/full-frame format. Covering from ultra wide 20mm to standard 60mm focal length, it supports versatile shooting opportunities from landscapes to snap shots. Wide view angle makes it easier to shoot indoors where room space is limited and minimum focusing distance of 5.9-inch (maximum magnification 0.43x) supports close-up photography. High optical performance ensures superb image quality from center to edges, while keeping the body size small. Thanks to the mechanism that suppresses focus breathing, smooth and high quality video recording is made possible.

The rugged dust/splash-resistant* design withstands use under harsh conditions even at 14 degrees F for high mobility. In addition, a fluorine coating on the front element protects the lens from water and oil. The filter diameter is 67 mm, with a 9-blade circular aperture diaphragm.

Durability for Various Weather Conditions

The fluorine coating applied to the front lens prevents the sticking of oil-based dirt, in addition to a dust and splash resistant construction* that protects the lens system inside from sand, rain and more. This lens is also tough enough to withstand harsh environments at -10 degrees Centigrade.

* Dust and Splash Resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this lens is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.
