Panasonic Lumix S 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens

As a kit lens, the Lumix S 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 represents excellent value for money since it only adds about AU$500 to the overall price for the kit. Even as a stand-alone lens, you won’t find many similarly priced lenses as well built as this one.

The Panasonic Lumix S 20-60mm F3.5-5.6's wider-than-normal coverage, coupled with quality construction, makes it the best starter lens for any full-frame camera system.

  Edges aren't that sharp at 20mm, Omits optical stabilization

The Panasonic LUMIX S 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 redefines the standard zoom lens, delivering extra-wide viewing...

Love the flexibility of the 20-60 range. Only wish it were constant f4 instead of 3.5 to 5.6.

Usually, I can't wait to get rid of a kit lens as they tend not to be the best. This 20-60mm kit lens is most definitely the exception. A good widish lens with reasonable reach. Nice for landscapes. Would be nice if you complimented it with a lower cost longer reach travel lens.

  20-60mm is a great focal range, Comfortable to Operate, Great Picture Quality

Lens gives nice crisp results and accurate autofocus when setup correctly. Manual focusing ring action could be better and not smooth across the range when compared to other lenses. The lens was part of the DC-S5K kit.

Great little lens and goes from 20mm which is great for when I'm taking pictures of landscapes and buildings. Really easy to use and is light with my S5.

This is a good lease which comes out of the box with Linux S5 but the appetite is very slow.
