What’s new?
The Panasonic LUMIX S 100-500mm f5-7.1 is the longest zoom in the S series and the first lens specifically designed for wildlife and sports photography. Extending to 1000mm with the optional DMW-STC14 or DMW-STC20 teleconverters, it brings super-telephoto reach to the LUMIX S line in a compact 196mm design. The lens debuts Panasonic’s Tight-Smooth Ring, which allows photographers to change zoom resistance from light for fast action to firm for precise framing or to prevent zoom creep when pointing upwards. It is also the first S Series zoom to achieve 7-stop Dual I.S. 2 stabilisation, thanks to a newly designed O.I.S. unit with dual-side ball support that improves shake detection accuracy and actuator responsiveness. Together, these advances make the S 100-500mm a milestone release in the LUMIX lineup.
Advanced optical design
Despite its compact size, the Panasonic LUMIX S 100-500mm f5-7.1 features an advanced optical construction with 19 elements in 12 groups, including two UED, two ED and two UHR lenses. This arrangement minimises axial and lateral chromatic aberration, maintaining consistent resolution across the zoom range. The UHR elements control field curvature for edge-to-edge sharpness, while the 11-blade circular diaphragm produces naturally circular bokeh and clean starburst highlights. A minimum focusing distance of 0.8m at the wide end and 1.5m at the telephoto end enables magnifications up to 0.36x, supporting detailed close-ups of smaller subjects.
Autofocus and 7-stop stabilisation
A dual-phase linear motor delivers fast, precise, and near-silent autofocusing, supported by an advanced optical encoder that enhances resolution and thermal stability compared to conventional GMR sensors. The built-in O.I.S. works with compatible LUMIX camera bodies to provide 7-stop Dual I.S. 2 stabilisation, reducing handshake during handheld super-telephoto shooting. Users can select Mode 1 for standard correction or Mode 2 for panning, where the system automatically detects the direction of movement and stabilises only on the perpendicular axis to keep moving subjects sharp.
Optimised for video
This super-telephoto zoom integrates dedicated features for hybrid shooters. Focus breathing suppression ensures that framing remains consistent during pulls, while micro-step aperture control delivers smooth exposure transitions. The Dual Phase Linear Motor operates with minimal noise, reducing distractions during recording. Photographers can select linear focus ring behaviour for predictable, mechanical-style pulls or non-linear control for variable speed adjustments, ensuring precision when adapting to different shooting styles.
Handling and controls
With the LUMIX S 100-500mm f5-7.1 marking Panasonic’s entry into the super-telephoto wildlife and sports market, the company has tackled long-standing handling challenges through targeted optimisations for stability and control. The new Tight-Smooth Ring allows photographers to adjust zoom resistance, keeping movements light and responsive when tracking action, or firm and steady to prevent zoom creep at high angles. A customisable focus ring can be reassigned to functions such as aperture or crop zoom, while a focus button and dedicated switches for AF/MF, O.I.S. and focus limiting ensure key settings stay close to hand. The rotating tripod collar maintains balance and allows for quick switching between portrait and landscape orientations without disturbing the composition.
Weather-resistant build
To provide users with enhanced protection in the field, Panasonic has designed the LUMIX S 100-500mm f5-7.1 with a dust- and splash-resistant build and freeze resistance down to -10°C. A fluorine coating on the front element repels water, oil, and dirt, making the lens surface easier to keep clean when working outdoors. Despite its extended telephoto reach, the lens remains compact, measuring 196mm in length and weighing 1285g.
