Lumix made headlines with the introduction of a new camera and lens ecosystem. But, are their L-mount lenses a good choice for filmmakers?<\/h2>\r\n

If I were to ask you to conjure the image of a sizable lens attached to a mirrorless body, what brand and lens do you initially think of? The Sony 24-70mm 2.8 GM on an A7R IV? A 70-200mm f\/2.8 on the Canon EOS R?<\/p>\r\n

Whatever the lens and whatever the brand, it’s likely not Panasonic. And, this is in no way a dig. I’ve owned a GH4, a GH5, and now an S1H but, typically, Panasonic Lumix has only been a Micro Four Thirds camera manufacturer. In fact, it was only this last year that we saw them enter the market with their full-frame S-line \u2014 the S1, S1R, and the Netflix-approved S1H. (You can read about the differences of the S1 vs. the S1H here<\/a>). And, with a set of full-frame cameras, we, of course, needed a new series of lenses to cover the full-frame sensor.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Introducing the Lumix S Pro Series<\/h3>\r\n

In line with the S1 announcement, several Lumix S Pro lenses were also announced, and since 2019, we’ve seen that line grow in number. Now, I have to admit, I’ve been slightly naughty with this article’s title, and that’s because Panasonic’s holy trinity \u2014 the f\/2.8 line from 24-200mm \u2014 doesn’t exactly exist yet. Right out of the gates, six Lumix were available, including the 16-35mm, the 24-70mm, and the 70-200mm, the set that creates the holy trinity. However, only the 24-70mm and the 70-200mm were f\/2.8; the 16-35mm was of the more budget-friendly f\/4 variation. So, not a true<\/em> holy trinity, but we expect an f\/2.8 model in the future.<\/p>\r\n
