Panasonic introduces the Lumix S 14-28mm F4-5.6 Macro, an ultra-wide-angle zoom lens for the L-mount system. With a zoom range that extends from expansive landscape shots to expressive portraits and a macro function for close-ups, this is a versatile lens that is suitable for a variety of video and photography tasks. The Lumix S 14-28mm F4-5.6 Macro consists of 14 lens elements in 10 groups, including one aspherical ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) lens, one aspherical lens, three ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) lenses and one UHR (Ultra High Refractive Index) lens. The use of aspherical lenses enables both sharp details and breathtaking bokeh, while the three ED lenses effectively suppress chromatic aberration. Despite its compact size and low weight (approx. 345 g), the Lumix S 14-28mm F4-5.6 Macro offers a 0.25x (at 14 mm) to 0.5x (at 28 mm) macro function. Thanks to the minimum focussing distance of 0.15 m over the entire zoom range, close-ups can be taken with beautiful bokeh.

Panasonic releases new Lumix S lenses comparatively rarely compared to the MFT system. Including the new optics, the line-up is just 14 lenses. So it's no wonder that many have been eagerly awaiting the new S14-28mm F/4.0-5.6 Macro. Especially because in the wide-angle zoom segment, only a high-priced Lumix S Pro 16-35mm F4 with a price tag of around 1,500 euros was available until now...
