Lumix S 28-200mm f/4-7.1 Macro OIS £899/$898

Almost every camera system has its own compact wide-tele superzoom lens, however, despite a couple of third-party L-Mount options filling this gap, the Lumix S range had missed out. Until now, that is – Panasonic has decided it’s time to offer its own first-party solution with the Lumix S 28-200mm f/4-7.1 Macro OIS.

Never a company to do things by halves, this is also the world’s smallest and lightest 7x zoom lens for full-frame cameras. With wide to tele focal lengths covered in one package, these lenses allow photographers to travel light, so are useful if you don’t have much space in your bag – or don’t like frequently changing lenses.
