Panasonic kallar objektivet för "världens minsta och lättaste teleobjektiv med fast mediumbrännvidd", vilket innebär att de 298 gram som objektivet väger definierar objektivets design. Mobilitet och flexibilitet är något som de nämner själva, och möjligheten till snabb fokusering med den nyutvecklade Dual Phase Linear-motorn.

Den nya motorn gör att Panasonic kunnat minska storleken med hälften samtidigt som man kan bibehålla snabbheten och styrkan, något som gör att kan förflytta två av objektivets fokusgrupper mjukt och snabbt. Även focus breathing ska vara väl kontrollerat med objektivet.

Objektivet har även samma storlek som Panasonics Lumix S f/1,8-objektiv för att förenkla användningen. Närgränsen är 0,2m och maximal förstoring 1.0x – alltså 1:1. Filterdiametern är 67mm, längden 82mm och diametern 73,6mm.

Panasonic Lumix S 100mm F2,8 Macro finns tillgängligt i slutet av januari. Rekommenderat svenskt pris är 13 990 kronor inklusive moms.

Press release: Panasonic Introduces the World’s Smallest and Lightest* Medium-telephoto Fixed Focal Length Macro Lens: LUMIX S 100mm F2.8 MACRO (S-E100)

Panasonic is pleased to introduce the LUMIX S 100mm F2.8 MACRO (S-E100) lens based on the L-Mount system standard.

With a new optical design and a newly developed Dual Phase Linear Motor, the new LUMIX S 100mm is the world’s smallest and lightest* medium-telephoto fixed focal length macro lens, weighing approximately 298g. This lightweight, compact design allows for unrivalled mobility and flexibility in a variety of shooting scenarios. Benefitting from a new focus mechanism, the lens achieves superior tracking performance with fast and precise autofocus.

In addition to close-up life-size photography with its 100mm focal length, the new lens produces impressive portraits unique to medium-telephoto lenses, using its large aperture to capture images in high-resolution with stunning bokeh.

Moreover, the lens operates silently, thanks to the newly developed linear motor, and focus breathing is suppressed, making it ideal for capturing video. It also offers micro-step aperture control for smooth exposure changes, as well as the ability to choose between linear or nonlinear focus ring settings. These features have become hallmark characteristics of LUMIX S Series lenses.
