Panasonic Lumix S 100mm F2.8 Macro Lens

The Panasonic Lumix S 100 mm F2.8 Macro Lens is a high-performance medium-telephoto macro prime designed for full‐frame L-mount mirrorless cameras. It delivers life-size (1:1) magnification for close-up subjects while remaining exceptionally compact and lightweight — making it highly usable both for macro stills and portraits. With a newly developed optical design including a dual-phase linear motor and focus system, it achieves fast, precise autofocus and smooth aperture control — features that also make it video-friendly. Its weather-sealed construction (dust, splash, freeze-resistant) adds reliability in challenging shooting environments.

Key Features

• True macro capability: 1:1 maximum magnification and a closest focusing distance of approximately 0.204 m.
• Compact & lightweight build: Diameter 73.6 mm, length 82 mm, weight about 298 g, making it among the smallest/lighest in its class.
• Optical excellence: Built with 13 elements in 11 groups, including 3 aspherical elements, 2 UED and 1 ED glass for high resolution and controlled aberrations.
• Fast, silent AF: Dual-phase linear motor + stepping motor for sub-focus group; supports smooth, precise focusing and minimized focus breathing (beneficial for video).
• Unified design: Shares same size and filter diameter as Panasonic’s S Series f/1.8-prime lenses to ensure consistent handling, workflow and filter use.
• Weather-sealed construction: Dust/splash/freeze resistance for reliable outdoor use.

Best Suitable

• Macro photographers capturing fine detail—subjects like flowers, insects, textures, food or product photography.
• Portrait photographers who want a 100 mm medium-telephoto focal length with macro flexibility and smooth bokeh.
• Videographers who require a compact lens with smooth AF and aperture transitions, minimal breathing, and L-mount system build.
• Travel and field shooters who want a top-tier optical lens without the bulk typically associated with high-quality macro/telephoto lenses.
