Description and Reviews
Key Take-Aways:
The Lumix S 20–60mm f/3.5–5.6 is a compact, weather-sealed standard zoom that starts at an unusually wide 20mm, weighs ~350 g, focuses as close as 0.15 m for 0.43× magnification, and takes 67 mm filters.  Professional reviews highlight very good image quality for the class, useful close-focus and video behavior (quiet/quick AF, low breathing), and strong portability; trade-offs include a slow variable aperture, noticeable distortion and vignetting at 20 mm that rely on in-camera corrections, and some CA/edge softness at the extremes.  As of Sep 21 2025, user sentiment is broadly positive. Owners praise the 20–60 mm range, travel-friendly size, and value (often as a kit)—with recurring comments that it’s not as sharp or fast as pro zooms.
