A zoom lens that covers prime focal lengths from 24 to 105 mm in one face with a constant maximum aperture throughout the entire f/4 zoom range. The Macro prefix in the extended model name indicates the possibility of macro photography with a magnification ratio of 1:2. Thanks to an advanced optical design of 16 elements in 13 groups, the Panasonic 24-105mm f/4.0 Macro OIS produces a sharp image with minimal chromatic aberration and pleasant background blur.
The aperture of the lens is 9-bladed. The model is equipped with a linear autofocus motor that smoothly and quickly focuses from a distance of 30 cm, as well as a built-in optical stabilizer. Working side-by-side with the in-camera stabilization system aboard Panasonic's full-frame mirrorless cameras, it provides up to 6 stops of exposure gain when shooting handheld or in low-light conditions. The lens makes the weight of the set of photographic equipment about 680 g heavier. The model boasts a dust- and moisture-proof design, together with it you can use filters with a diameter of 77 mm.

The Panasonic Lumix S 24-105mm f/4 Macro OIS zoom lens is out of competition — there are simply no closest analogues to it for the Leica SL system (as of the end of 2021). And although the model does not have the coveted PRO badge, it steps on the heels of top-end lenses from Panasonic's full-frame optics fleet.
Versatile zoom range
The lens is assembled in a housing with dust and water protection according to the optical formula "16 elements in 13 groups". The range of focal lengths of the model covers both wide-angle and telephoto zoom with intermediate values for shooting any everyday scenes. At the same time, the aperture remains constant throughout the zoom “fork” and is f / 4. Its disadvantage in conditions of insufficient illumination of the frame is compensated by the optical stabilization system. Together with a matrix stub aboard Panasonic full frames, the photographer has the right to count on gaining up to 6 stops of shutter speed or exposure.
macro photography
Within focal lengths from 24 to 105 mm, the lens draws a sharp image with an extremely low level of chromatic aberration. The minimum distance for photo hunting on the Panasonic Lumix S 24-105mm f/4 Macro OIS starts at 30 cm — the lens takes macro shots with a magnification ratio of 1:2, providing a pleasant background blur. For smooth and fast focus, the linear drive of the autofocus system is responsible.
Just right
The model adds about 680 g of its weight to the burden of a photographer or videographer. It would also be useful for her to buy a couple of filters for a front lens diameter of 77 mm. The lens will serve as a reasonable purchase for cameras of the Leica SL system and will replace a whole arsenal of optics for these cameras in one person. Only the maximum aperture will need to be sacrificed, but for shooting during the day and with fairly good ambient lighting, the f / 4 aperture is just right.
