What We Like
+Exceptionally compact and lightweight at 544g for an f/2.8 standard zoom; about 42% lighter than the S Pro 24-70mm
+Rare 24mm wide-angle start with constant f/2.8 aperture and affordable $899 price
+Fast, silent dual linear motor autofocus with minimal focus breathing ideal for video
+Fully weather-sealed with dust/splash/freeze resistance and fluorine coating for outdoor durability
+First S Series lens with customizable focus ring; hybrid zoom extends reach to 187mm on compatible bodies
Worth Knowing
−Softer corner sharpness at 60mm with maximum aperture; requires stopping down to f/4-f/8 for edge clarity
−Limited telephoto reach at 60mm; 10mm shorter than 24-70mm competitors requires pairing with additional lenses
−Average bokeh rendering compared to more expensive alternatives; some harsh specular highlights
−Mild barrel/pincushion distortion requiring post-processing correction

Read our notes on general
The Panasonic Lumix S 24-60mm f/2.8 is a pragmatic standard zoom that trades 10mm of telephoto reach for exceptional portability and affordability. At 544g and $899, it delivers constant f/2.8 performance across a rare 24-60mm range, making it ideal for travel, street, and video work on L-Mount systems—though corner softness at 60mm and middling bokeh reflect cost-conscious engineering.
