My next lens.

Lumix S5 + Lumix 20-60 + 70-300 + 85 F1.8 i mamy super komplet. Ale nie zapomnijcie o Lumixie G9 + Leica 100-400. Teraz mamy pełny wypas.

When is this lens to be released and what is the price - if possible in Canadian dollars. Thanks!

[@BandH]

The availability of this lens would be mentioned on the following page: bhpho.to/3r9gk2K You would also be able to view the pricing in Canadian dollars by choosing it from the drop down currency list at the bottom of our homepage.

Could this lens use with a teleconverter?

[@iDocSonic]

No

How is the Sigma 100-400 on L-mount?

[@Princeton_James]

Idk but I've tested The Sigma 70-200 2.8 vs the Panasonics and the 24-70 Mii vs Panasonics and Panasonic beat them both. More contrast, sharpness and better bokeh. Sigma won on weight and close focusing. distance. I went with the Panasonic.

[@3DEditor]

I have the Panasonic Lumix G9 with the Leica DG Vario-Elmar 100-400mm f/4-6.3 ASPH. POWER O.I.S. Lens. It has all the same features as the one in this presentation, except I'm not sure if it is Macro shot capable?

[@mavfan1]

Luckily you can take photos and see for yourself.

[@FuzeDzn]

Correct the 100-400 cannot do macro photography

[@jgaffney567]

But the range equilivency is different to your lens. That plays a huge role.

[@3DEditor]

@@jgaffney567 talking about same features on the lens, not focal range.

[@jgaffney567]

@@3DEditor There are design limitations and due to the increased range the macro feature would not be considered for a 100-400mm m4/3 lens. That is what I was referring to

[@TheBrute268]

Will it work on the Gh6

[@BandH]

No.The Lumix S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 MACRO O.I.S. Lens from Panasonic is a telephoto zoom lens designed for full-frame format L-mount camera bodies. The Panasonic Lumix GH6 Mirrorless Camera has a Micro Four Thirds lens mount. >Mark

[@TimotheosEnterprisesMedia]

Already popular L Mount.... not so much, but who cares. How many lenses can a person carry and use anyway. Yet, With the S5 and kit lens this 70-300 is a beautiful completion lens. Add to it all a couple of adapters and vintage lenses for creativity and boom... you are in business.

[@user-ro7ks1us5b]

This lens is parfocal - it's very important for video. You must say about it...

[@pavelprask524]

Unfortunately it's not!!!!

[@user-ro7ks1us5b]

@@pavelprask524 Yes. I already have it lens and know it exactly...)

[@purehuman9056]

Why do reviewers associate lenses to the S5? LOL Its S line so intended for S cameras not S5 exclusively.

[@dimitriskafantaris7101]

It's a slow seller (but a very good camera). I bought one on an incredible offer new, with a prime lens. I am using all my FD "vintage" lenses with great results so far. This (70-300mm) is the only zoom lens from the S series consider buying in the future.
