Love the lens anytime I want to bring one lens.

Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2023

This is my go to lens for everything. It’s useful for filming and photography. Bokeh is good if you know how to position your subject relative to the background. For sports, you may want to consider going to a 2.8. It’s fast, works and is on my camera nearly all the time.

DO NOT ORDER USED FROM AMAZON

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2024

Amazon does not check the item properly. It looked great on the outside but the lens mount was not connecting properly on the electronics side.

Broken autofocus on the lens, the focal length kept reading between 42-44mm even though it was not at that focal length. This will change how the IBIS works so it’s just going to be complete trash if you plan on using it with ibis and autofocus. Buy from somewhere else.

This was an Amazon shipped and sold product.

The only lens you'll ever need

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2023

I am extremely satisfied with the purchase of this lens. It's likely the only lens you'll ever need as it provides excellent image stabilization and captures super sharp photos and videos. While the autofocus is slightly slower than the 20-60mm kit lens, it never bother me. I'd highly recommend this lens.
Not sure why Panasonic puts in kit a huge lens bag that can easily fit a 400mm lens in it. The bag is very wide and tall.

WOW! Works great on my Leica SL

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2019

Verified Purchase

If you own a Leica SL and want a high quality, practical zoom lens, you'll really like this one ... a LOT.

I love the Leica SL but to date have used it only in manual mode with late model Leica M lenses ... 21mm, 35mm, 50mm, 75mm, 90mm and 135mm + the wonderful Voightlander 40mm f/1.2

The Leica SL 24-90 is indisputably a very high quality, stabilized zoom lens that I have been tempted to buy. But it is MUCH too large and heavy to be practical for travel ... so likely would just to end up a stay-at-home "hangar queen."

The new Panasonic S 24-105 weighs just 680 grams vs. 1140 grams for the Leica 24-90, and this new Panasonic lens is practical to carry around all day on the SL. The IQ appears to me to be indistinguishable from Leica glass ... it's weather-sealed ... focuses perfectly and very fast ... and offers amazing 0.3m macro. What's not to like?

The only other comparable premium zoom lens on the market seems to be the Sony FE 24-105mm F4 G ... same price as the new Panasonic S and pretty much identical specs.

The trade-off from 24-70 f/2.8 so-called "pro" lenses to the constant f/4.0 aperture 24-105 design is well worth the reduction in size and weight. Both Sony and Panasonic have executed brilliantly on this insight.

Excellent quality lens

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2020

Verified Purchase

Image quality is exceptional and a great match for the Panasonic S1H. The macro capabilities are pretty good. Not as good as an old fashioned extension tube (that's the analog in me coming out), but it's still better than nothing. OIS is excellent, even more so when combined with in body OIS.

Only thing I'd change on this lens is the OIS switch is pretty soft. Can slip out of position pretty easily. So be vigilant in checking its position regularly, else you might miss some key shots.

Very versatile lens with stabilization + macro capabilities.

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2020

It's not the sharpest lens out there, but it's only noticable when you're peaking in the pixel-to-pixel level. I shoot mostly primes as well, so it's a bit of an unfair comparison.

What if doesn't have in sharpness, it does make up with:

Macro Capabilities
Wide focal range
Optical Stabilization for Dual-IS
Weather Sealing
Minimal focus breathing
Minimal chromatic aberration

Excellent Lens for Leica SL

Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought this lens to use with my Leica SL. I have used this lens only once. However I shot all day that day taking a couple of hundred pictures. During that day the auto focus between the lens and the SL was perfect with no missed shots.
This lens is relatively light weight compared to the Leica 24-90 SL lens (about 1 pound or 450 grams lighter). The extra 15mm in reach seemed nice to have though I typically shot between 24-75 most of the day. I also used the lens mostly wide open at f4 occasional stopping down as far as f11 in very bright areas (I did not have an ND filter for this lens that day).
Color and contrast seemed pretty good but I don't have the Leica 24-90 so I can't do any comparisons apart from weight and price.
The sample shot was taken at the Phoenix AZ Desert Botanical Garden Oct. 28 2019. Very bright sun but the camera and lens combo did an excellent job capturing color, contrast and details.
Overall for an L mount camera body, I highly recommend this lens.

Good Starter Lens

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2020

The Panasonic LUMIX S 24-105mm F4, Full-Frame L Mount lens, is a good all-a-round starter lens for the Lumix S1H camera. When becoming an early purchaser of a new camera system with a new lens mount, you must decide where to start. I do not regret started with this lens. I will need other lenses, but will get those as needed.
