Lumix 28-200mm review at Digitalcameraworld: “the travel photographer’s new best friend”
Preorder at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, FotoErhardt, WexUK.
Digitalcameraworld tested the new lens and concluded:
Superzoom lenses often get a bad rep despite their usefulness for covering a wide range of focal lengths. The Lumix S 28-200mm covers a fantastic range and does so in a design that is more compact and lightweight than ever before. This lens deserves a place in any Lumix shooter’s arsenal for traveling light. Image quality is very good throughout the range for a lens of this class, and the image stabilization is excellent, with super steady photos and video even at full stretch.
