Description and Reviews
Key Take-Aways:
The Lumix S PRO 24–70mm f/2.8 is a weather-sealed L-Mount standard zoom with a constant f/2.8 aperture, 82 mm filters, an 11-blade diaphragm, suppressed focus breathing, 0.37 m close focus (0.25×), and a 935 g build.  Professional reviews report fast/silent AF, strong sharpness with very low CA and well-controlled breathing, plus excellent build and a useful focus-clutch MF ring; trade-offs include heavy weight, no optical IS, modest close-focus magnification, some barrel vignetting/distortion at 24 mm, and occasional ghosting into the sun.  As of Sep 21 2025, user sentiment is broadly positive. Owners praise image quality, low breathing, and handling—while recurring comments mention weight/cost and some opting for lighter or cheaper alternatives (e.g., 24–60 mm f/2.8 or Sigma 24–70).
