One half of Micro Four Thirds and one third of the L Mount Alliance, Panasonic is in a unique position where it is actively developing cameras and lenses for two separate systems. 2019 was definitely dedicated more to the L mount, with six new lenses being released along with three new full-frame mirrorless cameras. That alone would be a busy year for most, but Panasonic also made sure to keep its more compact Micro Four Thirds line fresh with a few new lenses, too.
With its burgeoning full-frame L-mount system clearly the priority of the year, Panasonic spent 2019 carving out a very strong foundation of lenses. Announced alongside its first two full-frame bodies, the S1 and S1R, Panasonic released the first three lenses for the system, with a 24-105mm f/4, a 50mm f/1.4, and a 70-200mm f/4. Considering at the Lumix S 24-105mm f/4 Macro O.I.S. first, this lens is a perfect start for a brand-new system, and is a lens that should be a mainstay for a long time. Besides its versatile wide to short-tele range and constant f/4 design, it also touts a “Macro” designation for working with close-up subjects at up to a 1:2 magnification. Also, it has an Optical Image Stabilizer to counter camera shake, and this works in conjunction with camera-based IS for 5-axis Dual I.S. 2.
