Panasonic LUMIX S S-E2460 60mm
Its constant f/2.8 aperture throughout the 24-60mm zoom range joins a compact 544g build and robust weather-sealing, making it a versatile everyday lens. A focus-breathing-free design with silent AF, a customizable control ring, and a close 7-inch working distance positions it as a capable hybrid lens for video and tabletop photography. It's best for documentarians and hybrid shooters who require a compact, weather-proof standard zoom with silent, breath-free video autofocus and the ability to focus just 7 inches away.
