Best Pick

Panasonic Lumix S Pro S-E2470 24-70mm

59.8 Travel Score
24-70mm f/2.8 L Mount Weather Sealed
Why we recommend this

Delivers high resolution and contrast across the 24-70mm zoom with a constant f/2.8 aperture, backed by an 18-element, 16-group optical design and rugged, dust/splash/freeze-resistant build. An 11-blade aperture produces smooth bokeh transitions, and the focus clutch mechanism enables instant AF/MF switching while suppressing focus breathing for video. Ideal for portrait and professional L-mount photographers needing a dependable standard zoom, though its 42.1/100 macro score limits close-up work.

Its f/2.8 aperture yields smooth bokeh for portraits, and suppressed focus breathing makes it equally discreet for video capture. This lens is best for portrait and street photographers who prioritize a highly portable, weather-resistant 100mm prime with macro capability as an added feature.
