Panasonic Objectif Lumix S Pro 24 - 70 mm f / 2.8

Owners of Panasonic’s S1 cameras now have a choice between two ‘general purpose’ lenses, the 24-70mm f/2.8 and the 24-105mm f/4 lens , which is a stop slower but covers a wider zoom range. You pay a premium for the faster lens and also lose some telephoto capabilities. The 24-105mm f/4 lens is also more than 250 grams lighter, which can make a difference when working on location, although both lenses and cameras in this series are relatively heavy. While the 24-70mm focal length range is a bit limited for general-purpose photography, it should be suit wedding photographers and those who cover social events, where the constant f/2.8 maximum aperture will be advantageous for controlling depth of field.
