Product Overview

Panasonic Lumix S 24-105mm F4 Macro OIS is a standard zoom lens for Leica L-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle. Introduced by Panasonic in 2019, it has 16 elements in 13 groups.
Like most zoom lenses, the Panasonic Lumix S 24-105mm F4 Macro OIS is externally-zooming. For incremental weathers, Panasonic is kind enough to include weather sealing.
A standard zoom lens with moderate aperture, the Panasonic Lumix S 24-105mm F4 Macro OIS is more of a "volume seller" than a premium option. Still, some photographers may find the results "good enough". The lens is also stabilized, making it even easier to use for videos and stills alike.

Reviewers from pcmag have found:
The Panasonic Lumix S 24-105mm F4 Macro O.I.S. is the de facto starter lens for most entering the L-mount system. The lens focuses to 11.8 inches, which is good enough for 1:2 macro magnification. It's built well, and can be used in all types of weather with the right camera.
Pros
  • Sharp optics
  • Good macro capability
  • In-body stabilization
Cons
  • Some barrel distortion
