Panasonic LUMIX S S-R1428 14-28mm
Its 14-28mm f/4-5.6 ultra-wide zoom, 0.5x macro magnification, and compact 345g build provide full-frame L-mount coverage with weather sealing in a portable package. The 14-element optical design, with ED and aspherical elements, suppresses chromatic aberration, while focus breathing compensation aids video shooters.
