Panasonic Lumix S Pro 16-35mm f/4

The low inherent levels of distortion and vignetting (not to say other aberrations) will make this lens a sound choice for landscape and architectural photographers and anyone else needing a capable, aberration-free wide angle lens. Although not exactly cheap, its relatively modest price tag puts it within the ‘affordable’ range for its target professional user. This lens is a welcome addition to the growing portfolio of Panasonic lenses with L-mounts, which has now reached six and comprises the 50mm f/1.4, 24-105mm f/4, 70-200mm f/4, 70-200mm f/2.8, 24-70mm f/2.8 and 16-35mm f/4 lenses. The company has promised to add five more lenses in 2020. Sigma has also been making L-mount lenses, with 11 scheduled before the end of 2019 and three more coming in early 2020, so buyers of Panasonic’s S-series cameras won’t be without options.
