The Panasonic LUMIX S 100-500mm F5-F7.1 is an ultra-telephoto zoom lens designed for the LUMIX S Series full-frame mirrorless cameras. It offers a versatile zoom range up to 500mm, extendable to 1000mm with teleconverters, and combines high resolution with smooth bokeh, making it ideal for wildlife, motorsports, and landscape photography and videography.
The Panasonic LUMIX S 100-500mm F5-7.1 gives you serious zoom power without losing clarity.
If 500mm isn’t enough, this lens works with 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters. That takes you to 700mm or even 1000mm — plenty of reach for birds in flight, athletes across the field, or distant mountain peaks.

With its optical design, this LUMIX S lens creates soft, rounded bokeh. That means your subject stays sharp while the background looks natural and smooth, without harsh edges.
This telephoto lens can also focus surprisingly close. At 500mm, it reaches a 0.8m minimum focus distance with up to 0.36x magnification.
Dual I.S.2 image stabilization corrects up to 7 stops of camera shake.

A Dual Phase Linear Motor makes autofocus quick and accurate while staying nearly silent. It’s reliable for fast action stills and smooth for video.
The lens reduces focus breathing and uses micro-step aperture control. That keeps your video smooth and consistent, without distracting jumps when changing focus or exposure.
At just 196mm long, the LUMIX S 100-500mm is compact for its class. It’s dust and splash-resistant, tested to -10°C, and easy to carry outdoors.
You get a customizable control ring and a dedicated focus button.
