The lens lets anyone capture wide landscapes and then with just a twist of the wrist, they can zoom in to take telephoto shots. The LUMIX S 28-200mm F4-7.1 MACRO O.I.S. \u2014 as its name implies \u2014 also takes great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/top-10-macro-photography-tips\/\">macro photography<\/a>. With a close up distance of 3cm from the edge of the lens at 28mm, photographers and videographers can get extremely close to their subjects. Typically lenses can stop down to an aperture of f22. This lens can stop down to f32 at 28mm and f45 at 200mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-wertnbvcw-aw34hw5bav-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Panasonic LUMIX S 28-200mm F4-7.1 MACRO O.I.S Lens\" class=\"wp-image-100482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-wertnbvcw-aw34hw5bav-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-wertnbvcw-aw34hw5bav-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-wertnbvcw-aw34hw5bav.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Fritz Bacon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nearly Unified Center of Gravity<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When the lens is set to 75mm, the user can balance their camera and lens with ease. On most gimbals with a typical lens, each time the focal length is changed dramatically, the gimbal would need to be re-balanced and possibly recalibrated, costing valuable time. With the LUMIX S 28-200mm F4-7.1 MACRO O.I.S., this is not an issue. When balanced at 75mm, the lens can be shot at either 28mm or 200mm without adjusting the gimbal due to its light weight. This optimizes workflow while shooting and can speed up production times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-advebrstney-a34w5hbvaer-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Panasonic LUMIX S 28-200mm F4-7.1 MACRO O.I.S Lens\" class=\"wp-image-100481\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-advebrstney-a34w5hbvaer-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-advebrstney-a34w5hbvaer-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-advebrstney-a34w5hbvaer.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Fritz Bacon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">World&#8217;s Smallest &amp; Lightest Zoom Lens<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Weighing in at 413g and dimensions of 77.3 x 93.4 mm, at time of launch, this is the world&#8217;s smallest and lightest zoom lens. This is compared to all interchangeable lenses for autofocus compatible full-frame mirrorless cameras, and lenses with an optical zoom of 7x or more. This compact lens allows photographers and videographers flexibility in how they move with the camera.

The LUMIX S 28-200mm F4-7.1 MACRO O.I.S. also incorporates a detection algorithm into the high-precision gyro sensor. This allows for very stable handheld shooting for both photo and video. This is great for low light shooting when a slower shutter speed needs to be used to get enough light into the sensor without having to use a tripod. When it comes to video, this stabilization will allow for stable shots at both ends of the focal ranges, zoomed and wide. This stabilization is also why this lens is so great for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/6-best-gimbals-and-stabilizers-for-new-filmmakers\/\">gimbal<\/a> use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69e6a5dce979d&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69e6a5dce979d\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"100474\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-ewarsntbvewf-q43h5wnbgw3-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"portrait photography with fritz bacon\" class=\"wp-image-100474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-ewarsntbvewf-q43h5wnbgw3-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-ewarsntbvewf-q43h5wnbgw3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-ewarsntbvewf-q43h5wnbgw3.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Fritz Bacon, taken with the Panasonic LUMIX S 28-200mm F4-7.1 MACRO O.I.S Lens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69e6a5dce9d7a&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69e6a5dce9d7a\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"100473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-aewrbnbavwe4e-eaw4wr5etjnbv-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"portrait photography with fritz bacon\" class=\"wp-image-100473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-aewrbnbavwe4e-eaw4wr5etjnbv-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-aewrbnbavwe4e-eaw4wr5etjnbv-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-aewrbnbavwe4e-eaw4wr5etjnbv.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Fritz Bacon, taken with the Panasonic LUMIX S 28-200mm F4-7.1 MACRO O.I.S Lens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Should Buy This Lens? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the large focal range, the LUMIX S 28-200mm F4-7.1 MACRO O.I.S. is one of the most versatile lenses on the market. Urban photographers and videographers will love the small form factor and the unassuming size, which makes it easy to work with without drawing negative attention. Anyone who likes to shoot outside will love it for its range. You can shoot landscapes with ease and then quickly punch in to capture any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wildlife-photography-tips\/\">wildlife<\/a> encountered without having to fumble with swapping lenses and possibly missing a shot in the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This lens won\u2019t take up much space or weight in a bag, so it is perfect to take on long treks either traveling across the world or climbing a mountain. Typically when traveling light, a decision must be made on which lens to bring along and often that decision is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wide-angle-vs-telephoto-which-lens-should-you-choose\/\">between grabbing a wide or grabbing a telephoto<\/a>. The LUMIX S 28-200mm F4-7.1 MACRO O.I.S. can eliminate that decision. Videographers can also benefit from most of these features but will especially benefit from the 6.5-stop image stabilization that makes shooting a stable shot a breeze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69e6a5dcea645&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69e6a5dcea645\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"100476\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-awerhbawehrb-awehrbawbrnt3-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"portrait photography with fritz bacon\" class=\"wp-image-100476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-awerhbawehrb-awehrbawbrnt3-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-awerhbawehrb-awehrbawbrnt3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-awerhbawehrb-awehrbawbrnt3.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Fritz Bacon, taken with the Panasonic LUMIX S 28-200mm F4-7.1 MACRO O.I.S Lens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69e6a5dceac5d&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69e6a5dceac5d\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-id=\"100475\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-aewgrbawe345-aweg4hrbv-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"portrait photography with fritz bacon\" class=\"wp-image-100475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-aewgrbawe345-aweg4hrbv-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-aewgrbawe345-aweg4hrbv-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/panasonic-lumix-28200f471-lens-fritzbacon-aewgrbawe345-aweg4hrbv.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by Fritz Bacon, taken with the Panasonic LUMIX S 28-200mm F4-7.1 MACRO O.I.S Lens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comparable LUMIX Lenses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While this lens is extremely versatile, there are a few lenses in the LUMIX S Series that would pair well with the LUMIX S 28-200mm F4-7.1 MACRO O.I.S.. The first lens would be the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/pcsr1428.html\">14-28mm F4-5.6 MACRO<\/a> to get even wider shots. To punch in even tighter, the best pairing would be with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/pcsr70300.html\">70-300mm F4.5-5.6 MACRO O.I.S.<\/a>. It&#8217;s always nice to have an option of a prime lens when shooting photo or video. For that option LUMIX offers options in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/pcs1818.html\">18mm<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/pcs2418.html\">24mm<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/pcs3518.html\">35mm<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/pcs5018.html\">50mm<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/pcs8518.html\">85mm<\/a> all with an

not to like. It\u2019s lightweight, unassuming, and has an incredible range to it. I can toss it in my bag and not worry if I am going to have the right focal length to get the job done. I was able to pair it with my gimbal with ease and really enjoyed flicking through all the different focal lengths while filming without having to worry about rebalancing and recalibrating. <\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"PCSR28200\"  class=\"west_sku_post\" data=\"PCSR28200\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>When I was filming with it handheld, I was able to navigate New York City without drawing any excess attention to my gear. I was also able to capture a wide range of shots of my model in a very short amount of time.
