Quick Analysis

  • The "Travel" Winner: The Lumix 18-40mm and Lumix 40mm are essentially pancake-style lenses, keeping your S5 II extremely low-profile.
  • The Powerhouse Zoom: The Sigma 20-200mm is heavier than the Lumix standard zooms, but it's remarkably compact for a lens that covers such a massive range (starting at ultra-wide 20mm).
  • Consistency: If you plan on using a gimbal, notice that the Lumix 50mm and 85mm have the exact same length (82mm) and weight class, making lens swaps fast and easy.
