LUMIX S 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 MACRO O.I.S. (S-R70300)
More than a telephoto lens
Panasonic is proud to introduce the LUMIX S 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 MACRO O.I.S. (S-R70300) Interchangeable Telephoto Zoom Lens based on the L-Mount system, for the LUMIX S Series Full-frame Digital Single Lens Mirrorless Camera. Built with professional photographers in mind, the LUMIX S Series pursues uncompromising photographic expression with its high-quality cameras and lenses.
The LUMIX S 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 MACRO O.I.S. boasts high descriptive performance and beautiful bokeh over the entire zoom range, which makes it possible to render exceptionally impressive stills and videos. It also provides high-speed, high-precision AF and Dual I.S. for agile mobility to be used in wide-ranging situations: including sports, animals, portraits, aircrafts, and vehicles. The LUMIX S Series Full Frame Camera Lens 70-300mm (S-R70300) also takes sparkling macro photos and sharp video, giving photographers the versatility you need to capture any moment, near or far. The advanced image stabilization powerfully corrects handshake in telephoto shooting and enables 5.5-stop slower shutter speed while suppressed focus breathing lets you take smooth, sparkling video with ease. The lens's dust/splash/freeze-resistant design lets you take it out into the field even under harsh conditions. Despite being a telephoto zoom lens with macro capability, the LUMIX S 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 MACRO O.I.S. is compact and light weight for stunning mobility. Enjoy the rugged versatility of this lens and keep it by your side to prepare for the unexpected!
70-300mm Zoom with Excellent Image Quality
The lens optical design is compact and lightweight, yet it provides a 300mm zoom at the telephoto end to dynamically bring your subject, such as wildlife or sports, up close. The powerful zoom gives you increased creative flexibility when shooting outdoors.
Superb Close-up Performance
With a minimum focusing distance of 0.54m* and maximum magnification of 0.5x (at 300m), the 70-300mm allows you the freedom to shoot outstanding macro photography. Close-up views of small and sensitive subjects, such as birds and butterflies, can be easily captured from a distance.
* Closest focusing distance of 0.54m (at 70mm) / 0.74m (at 300mm).
Beautiful Rendition of Light
The 11-blade circular aperture diaphragm features optimised blade shape and arrangement. This produces a beautiful rendition of light sources within your images, such as sunlight shining through tree leaves and colourful illuminations, by creating soft and exquisitely attractive beams of light.
Optical Image Stabilization for Ultra-Sharp Photos
Combining the O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer) in the lens and the Body I.S. in your LUMIX S Series camera*, the 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 powerfully compensates for handshake, making it possible to use a 5.5-stop slower shutter speed.** The focus control with a maximum 480 fps high-speed sensor drive realizes fast, high-precision AF.
* 5-Axis Dual I.S. 2 can be used with the camera LUMIX S1H, S1R, S1 and S5, as of February 18, 2021.
** Based on the CIPA standard (Yaw/Pitch direction: focusing distance f=300mm, when LUMIX S5 is used).
Dust, Splash, and Freeze Resistant Design
The LUMIX S 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 MACRO O.I.S. is designed to keep shooting even in the toughest conditions thanks to its dust and splash resistant construction, even in temperatures as low as -10 °C. In addition, the fluorine coating on the front element repels water and oil.
* Dust and Splash Resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this lens is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.
S-R70300 Lens Construction
Adopting the state-of-the-art optical technology, the optimum alignment of the 17 lens elements in 11 groups, including one ultra extra-low dispersion (UED) lens, two extra-low dispersion (ED) lenses and one ultra-high refractive index (UHR) lens, effectively suppresses axial chromatic aberration at tele-end, and chromatic aberration of magnification at wide-end. Specifically, the UHR lens achieves uniform image quality from the center to the edges of the image, while contributing to an overall smaller configuration of the lens unit.
