The LUMIX S PRO 16-35mm F4 extends the Panasonic S focal length range in the wide-angle segment. The versatile zoom ranges from super wide-angle to classic reportage focal lengths. Both photos and videos benefit equally from its high imaging performance across the entire focal length range.
12 lens elements in 9 groups, including 3 aspherical lenses, an ED lens (Extra-Low Dispersion) and a UHR lens (Ultra-High Refractive Index) ensure high MTF performance despite its compact size and low weight. The Lens with 9 aperture blades for a uniformly round aperture has low vignetting and a consistently high resolution right into the corners of the image as well as a beautiful bokeh without double lines. Despite its compact design, a very powerful linear motor with two magnets drives the AF focusing element.
High-speed focus control on the sensor takes place at a maximum of 480 fps in order to track even fast subjects accurately. Fast switching between AF/MF and precise manual focusing is possible at any time thanks to the focus clutch function. During video recording, a mechanism suppresses any pumping during focusing, which can be annoying with interchangeable lenses designed for purely photographic use.
The robust, dust and splash-proof*4 construction can withstand tough use even in difficult conditions down to 10 degrees below zero. The filter size is 77 mm.
