Versatile Lens Design

A unique zoom covering ultra-wide to short portrait-length fields of view, the Panasonic Lumix S 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 is a sleek and versatile lens designed for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras. The distinct range of focal lengths is also complemented by flexible focusing capabilities, which permit working with subjects as close as 5.9" with a 0.43x magnification for near-macro performance. In terms of optics, the lens incorporates a series of aspherical, high refractive index, and low dispersion elements to control a variety of aberrations and realize a high degree of clarity and sharpness. A fluorine coating has been applied to the front element to reduce smudging and make it easier to clean and then lens also features a weather-sealed design for working in harsh environmental conditions. Additionally, suiting both photo and video applications, a stepping motor is featured, which affords fast, precise, and near-silent autofocus performance.

Compatibility and Optical Features

Wide-to-short telephoto zoom is designed for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras, however can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 30-90mm equivalent focal length range.

Two aspherical elements and one ultra high refractive index (UHR) element, help to minimize distortions and spherical aberrations throughout the zoom range in order to maintain edge-to-edge sharpness and illumination.

Three extra-low dispersion elements greatly reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing in order to produce a high degree of clarity and color accuracy.

• Stepping AF motor delivers quick and quiet focusing performance that benefits both photo and video applications.
• Maximum magnification of 0.43x and a minimum focusing distance of 5.9" benefits working with close-up subjects.
• AF/MF switch permits quick changing between focusing modes.
• Splash, dust, and freezeproof design benefits working in inclement weather conditions down to 14°F.
• Fluorine coating has been applied to the front element to prevent dirt and oils from sticking to lens.
• Rounded nine-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing bokeh quality.
