Panasonic LUMIX S 24-105mm f/4 Macro O.I.S. (S-R24105)
The LUMIX S 24-105mm f/4 Macro O.I.S. is the do-everything L-mount standard zoom — a stabilized, full-frame travel and event lens at 680g with a 77mm thread and 1:2 half-macro reach. It's a versatile single-lens solution for enthusiast shooters. It's right for those who want one lens to cover most situations, but the constant f/4 aperture will frustrate buyers who need f/2.8 low-light speed.
