Panasonic Camera Lens LUMIX S 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 MACRO O.I.S. S-R70300 [Leica L / zoom lens]

Product Specifications

Basic Information

Product Features

Maximum magnification of 0.5x at 300mm. Compact and lightweight telephoto zoom lens that also achieves telephoto macro photography

- Superior image rendering performance and smooth bokeh effect throughout the entire zoom range
The lens delivers excellent descriptive performance throughout the entire zoom range, from the center to the periphery. Even at 300mm, the telephoto zoom lens delivers fine details and impressive expressions by utilizing the compression effect only possible with a telephoto lens. This lens is ideal for shooting airplanes, trains, and other objects that require telephoto and high-detailing performance. It can also produce a smooth out-of-focus effect as it moves from the focus plane to the out-of-focus plane, allowing for the depiction of textures with a sense of three-dimensionality. Also, in night scenes, the small aperture eclipse and the beautiful, high-quality bokeh expression without ring lines will add color to your work.

- 300mm Telephoto Macro Photography Expands the Possibilities of Photographic and Visual Expression
A new actuator has been developed to accommodate the longer stroke of the focus lens, achieving a 0.5x magnification at 300mm telephoto. The lens provides a sufficient distance to the subject, enabling macro photography that gets close to the subject even in scenes where it is difficult to get close, such as over fences and railings. It also allows you to place a reflector, lighting, or other photographic equipment between the subject and the lens, increasing your photographic freedom. The minimum focusing distance is 0.54m at 70mm at the W-edge and 0.74m at 300mm at the T-edge, enabling close-up photography and new expressions that were not possible with conventional telephoto zoom lenses.

- Superior Mobility in Any Shooting Environment

●The lens is compact and lightweight (approx. 790g) while providing excellent descriptive performance and macro photography at the telephoto end. The design also takes into consideration the balance of the center of gravity when gripping the lens to reduce the burden of holding the camera.

●The camera is compatible with the Dual I.S. 2 image stabilization system, which provides powerful support for handheld telephoto photography with a shutter speed equivalent of 5.5 stops (*1).

●Even with long focusing strokes to support telephoto macro shooting, this lens achieves high-speed and high-precision AF with linear motors, high-speed communication at 480 fps, and spatial recognition AF, and is quiet with reduced drive noise, making it ideal for movie shooting.

●Optical design for high-definition video shooting and optimization of the lens barrel's internal structure suppresses the bleeding phenomenon, in which the angle of view changes as the focus position shifts during video shooting.

●In addition to a dedicated circuit for zoom position detection, the camera's high-precision zoom tracking performance with faster wobbling control suppresses out-of-focusing of the targeted subject.
In addition to being dust-proof and drip-proof (*2), the camera is designed to withstand temperatures as low as -10°C, allowing shooting in a variety of fields.

*1：CIPA standard compliant (when S5 is used, Yaw/Pitch direction: focal length f=300mm)
*2: When mounted on our dustproof and drip-proof camera body. Although the camera is designed to be dustproof and drip-proof, it does not completely prevent dust and water droplets from entering the camera.
