Following the announcement of its forthcoming full-frame S5 II and S5 IIX cameras and Lumix S 14–28mm F4–5.6 Macro lens, Panasonic has up to date its lens roadmap to incorporate two new L-mount S sequence lenses: one prime lens and one zoom lens.

Based mostly on the brand new roadmap, embedded under, it seems the 2 new L-mount S sequence lenses can be a 100mm macro lens and a zoom lens with a variety of roughly 28–200mm, though the precise vary might change between now and launch.

Assuming these estimations maintain true, that will make the 100mm Macro lens the corporate’s first macro prime and longest S sequence prime lens so far. Till now, the one macros in Panasonic’s L-mount lineup are zooms: the Lumix S 14–28mm F4–5.6 Macro, 24–105mm F4 Macro OIS and 70–300mm F4.5–5.6 Macro OIS.

When you have a look at the location of the 28–200mm zoom lens within the chart, it seems as if will probably be a variable-aperture lens (all the fixed aperture lenses are listed below the primes and the variable aperture lenses are listed on the backside). Bearing in mind different full-frame lenses on this zoom vary, it’s doable the lens may very well be an F2.8–5.6 or or an F3.5–5.6.

It’s doable these lenses might change or be dropped solely from the lens roadmap going ahead, however because it stands, we are able to count on at the very least yet another prime and yet another zoom lens for Panasonic’s S sequence L-mount lineup sooner or later, each of which fill areas within the lineup that don’t at the moment exist.
