Panasonic Lumix S 100-500mm F5.-7.1 O.I.S Lens

The Panasonic Lumix S 100-500mm covers a focal length from 100 to 500mm and delivers high resolution and beautiful bokeh across the entire zoom range, to capture stunning images and footage in a wide variety of shooting scenarios including wildlife, motorsports, and landscapes.
With an optimized lens element arrangement and Dual Phase Linear Motor, the full-frame lens achieves a remarkably compact design, while delivering impressive ultra-telephoto performance. Highspeed, high-precision, and silent autofocus, combined with Dual I.S. 2 image stabilization supporting up to 7.0 stops, ensures exceptional portability and handheld shooting support.

The lens is also designed for intuitive operation, featuring a customizable focus ring and a focus button. To meet the growing demand for video production, the lens incorporates features such as focus breathing suppression and micro-step aperture control for smooth exposure transitions, supporting high-quality video performance.

Up to 7 stops of image stabilization with Dual I.S. 2
In addition to the optical image stabilization (O.I.S.), this lens supports Dual I.S. 2, which works together with the camera’s B.I.S. to deliver up to 7 stops* of compensation at the telephoto range. Normally, the correction angle decreases as the focal length increases, but Dual I.S. makes it possible to compensate for camera shake even in the telephoto range. Whether shooting handheld at telephoto or using slow shutter speeds, you can shoot confidently without worrying about hand-shake blur.

Fast, precise, silent AF
A Dual Phase Linear Motor and the latest optical encoder enables high-speed, high-precision autofocus performance.

Close focus
Not just for distant subjects, this ultra-telephoto zoom lens also makes it easy to capture beauty close up. With the closest focusing distance of 0.8m at the wide end and a maximum magnification of 0.36x at the telephoto end, it's ideal for everything from blooming flowers to butterflies that land nearby.

Outstanding for video
Advanced optical design and an optimized internal barrel structure effectively suppress focus breathing. In high-contrast scenes, micro-step aperture control enables smooth F-stop transitions, preventing sudden exposure changes.

Dust-and splash-resistant
This lens is designed to keep shooting in the toughest conditions thanks to its dust- and splash-resistant construction and allowing you to shoot in temperatures as low as -10°C. The fluorine coating applied to the front lens makes it easy to remove oil-based dirt sticking to it.

Responsive controls for every shooting situation
Designed to adapt to your workflow, this lens offers responsive control in a wide range of shooting situations. You can switch O.I.S. modes or adjust zoom torque with the tight-smooth ring for smooth and stable telephoto shots. Frequently used functions can be assigned to the customizable focus ring or focus button (Fn button) for instant access. In manual focus mode, the lens offers precise, intuitive adjustments that align with your creative intent. Even when mounted on a tripod, the bundled tripod mount allows you to rotate the lens between horizontal and vertical positions without moving the tripod head.

Up to 1000mm with teleconverters
Compatible with the optional 1.4x (DMW-STC14) and 2.0x (DMW-STC20) teleconverters, this lens extends your focal length to 700mm* or even 1000mm*. Even at these extended focal lengths, the compact setup allows handheld shooting without a tripod, making it ideal for dynamic telephotography in the field.

lens construction:
Longer focal lengths tend to introduce chromatic aberration, which can reduce contrast and cause colour bleeding. That’s why the lens has a carefully optimised arrangement of two UED (Ultra Extra-low Dispersion) and two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) elements. The UED elements offer even lower dispersion than ED elements, delivering performance close to that of fluorite. This combination effectively corrects axial chromatic aberration, ensuring sharp, high-contrast results.
