I used head and body detection the entire shoot and had very few issues with searching. The image only went completely soft once or twice as the contrast-based autofocus worked to find focus.<\/p>\n<p>The auto-focus pairing of the 70-300 and my Panasonic S1 is a nice grouping overall, and in video mode it tracked nicely as my subject walked toward the camera. I let the camera and lens do the work without continually tapping the rear LCD to maintain focus. I\u2019m increasingly confident in the Lumix AF system as more and more lenses are released, but there are some strides left to be made.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Doubles as a Macro Lens<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Another cool thing about this lens is that it is a half-macro lens which gives you the ability to get macro shots while zoomed out at 70mm and also have macro ability through the range of zoom all the way in to 300mm. At 70mm you can be just from just .54 meters away from your target which is remarkable for a zoom lens with this kind of range.

When I zoomed into 300mm I had to back off to about .74 meters, but that\u2019s extremely close for telephoto\/macro focus distance.<\/p>\n<p>One more thing worth mentioning for video shooters: The 70-300 has focus breathing suppression to help keep objects in the frame the same size when changing focus to minimize distortion. You\u2019ll see an actual example of this feature in my video review. When I pull focus from the background to the foreground the plane where the top of my subject rests in the image doesn\u2019t change so there very little distortion caused by moving the focus wheel.<\/p>\n<p>For cinematographers, especially those who will film wildlife documentaries and sports films, the 70-300 become a very attractive option for video acquisition. I think it goes without saying much that the color replication and clarity of this lens is just beautiful and I actually enjoyed using it in a portrait scenario where I would normally use a fixed f\/2.8 or faster aperture lens. For a variable focal length zoom lens to perform this well for this purpose is nice to see.<\/p>\n<p>The Panasonic Lumix&nbsp;Pro S 70-300mm&nbsp; is available for preorder for&nbsp;<span class=\"dynamic-data\" data-type=\"price\" data-sku=\"PCSR70300\"><\/span>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Feature image provided by Panasonic<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, the rumors were true: Panasonic is releasing a brand new, long telephoto lens that shoots macro and video to add to its arsenal of L-mount glass.
