Ultra-wide zoom for L-mount shooters
The Panasonic LUMIX S 14-28mm F4-5.6 Macro covers an ultra-wide focal range from 14mm to 28mm. It suits photographers and videographers using L-mount bodies who need expansive perspectives for architecture, landscapes or tight interiors. Variable maximum aperture runs from F4 at the wide end to F5.6 at 28mm.
Compact weather-sealed build with macro reach
Weighing 12.7 oz (345 g), the lens uses 14 elements in 10 groups including aspherical and 2 ED lenses to control aberration. Dust- and splash-resistant construction operates down to 10 degrees below zero. Focus breathing is suppressed for consistent framing during video. Macro capability reaches 0.25x at 14mm and 0.5x at 28mm for close-up detail.
Gimbal-friendly balance for hybrid creators
Consistent overall length and control positioning match other LUMIX S primes so the centre of gravity barely shifts on a gimbal. Fast, silent contrast AF drives at 240 fps sensor readout for responsive tracking. This lens upgrades from narrower kit zooms when you need wider fields of view and close-focus flexibility without rebalancing a stabilised rig. Buyers needing faster constant aperture or longer telephoto reach should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
What is the maximum macro magnification at the 28mm end of this zoom?
At 28mm the lens reaches 0.5x magnification, letting you fill the frame with subjects roughly the size of a credit card.
What are the weight and length characteristics that make this lens gimbal-friendly?
It weighs 345 g (12.7 oz) and shares a common overall length and control-ring position with other LUMIX S primes, so balance barely shifts when you swap lenses on a gimbal.
How is the focus motor driven and what AF readout speed does it support?
A stepping motor drives focus silently and works with the camera's 240 fps sensor readout for high-speed contrast AF in both stills and video.
