Panasonic has just updated its Lumix S L-mount lens roadmap for its full-frame mirrorless system (November 2020). This time around the so-called “Telephoto Zoom” from the previous roadmap has now been revealed as a Lumix S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6. I think this will be a disappointment to a lot of Lumix shooters who surely would have wanted this to be a 100-400mm lens. In a lens lineup this small, it seems redundant to have three lenses that all start at 70mm.
This means the in total there are 6 lenses that Panasonic plan on launching in 2020/2021 for the Lumix S system, and the 100mm macro lens that was on an older version of the roadmap has still not reappeared.
- 35mm f/1.8 (This has now been launched)
- 24mm f/1.8 (This has now been launched)
- 50mm f/1.8 (This has now been launched)
- Large aperture wide prime (This has been revealed to be an 18mm f/1.8)
- Large aperture wide zoom (Presumably a 16-35mm f/2.8)
- 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 (This has now been launched)
Note: If you want to view a complete list of all current Panasonic Lumix L-mount lenses and their specifications, I have created a database here.
