Panasonic DC-S5 II + Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 DG DN (A)

Panasonic DC-S5 II

With its outstanding photo and video performance and an amazingly compact and robust body, the LUMIX DC-S5M2 meets the high demands of creative photo and video enthusiasts while offering exceptional value for money.

The S5M2 is based on a newly developed 24 megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor and an equally new image processor, which was developed as part of the L² technology partnership between LEICA and LUMIX. For the first time, the sensor in the LUMIX system supports phase detection in addition to contrast-based autofocus and combines both focusing methods to create a new hybrid phase detection AF. In addition, the new processor offers outstanding image quality and video performance with high bit rate or 6K resolution.

Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 DG DN (A)

The second Art Zoom lens, newly developed especially for mirrorless cameras.

Outstanding results can be achieved with a fast Zoom lens. With this conviction, SIGMA developed the 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN Art, the first Art Zoom lens specially designed for mirrorless cameras and characterized by extremely high resolution.

The experience in developing lenses for mirrorless cameras has successfully reduced the size and weight of the lens, while achieving a homogeneous and high resolution over the entire focal length range from the center of the image to the edges. In addition, compatibility with the latest mirrorless cameras and their functions allows the lens to be used in a wide range of applications, meeting the high demands of professional photographers and ambitious amateur photographers alike.

Following the 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN Art, the 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art is the flagship of the new generation of Art Zoom lenses and the ultimate standard Zoom lens with a large aperture.

Best optical performance in its class
The F2.8 Art product line with its flagship Zoom lenses was primarily developed to achieve outstanding optical performance.

As particularly low dispersion glass, six FLD ("F" Low Dispersion) glass elements and two SLD (Special Low Dispersion) glass elements are used in this lens, taking advantage of an optical design for mirrorless camera lenses. Thanks to the use of three aspherical lenses, this lens effectively reduces aberrations such as longitudinal chromatic aberration or sagittal coma, which are difficult to correct in post-processing. It also delivers homogeneous and outstanding resolution over the entire focal length range from the center of the image to the edges.

Compatible with the latest full-frame mirrorless cameras
The SIGMA 24-70mm F2.8 DG DN Art is compatible with various models of the latest full-frame mirrorless cameras with L-mount and Sony E-mount compatible. This means that professional photographers and ambitious amateur photographers alike can achieve top performance in a wide range of photographic applications.

For example, the AFL button can be assigned different functions via the camera menu, which improves usability when taking photos. The use of a stepper motor with the latest algorithm achieves a balanced ratio between acceleration and smoothness of the AF drive. This enables stress-free focusing. In addition, this lens is compatible with the eye-detection AF often used in mirrorless cameras, which enables extremely precise focusing in portrait photography. The Zoom lock mechanism prevents unintentional extension of the lens barrel. An AF/MF switch, which many other SIGMA lenses also have, is also available.

Design that eliminates reflections and ghost images
From the very beginning of the lens design process, susceptibility to reflections and ghosting is studied to achieve an optical design that is resistant to even strong backlighting. Super Multi-Layer Coating (SML) reduces flare and ghosting and delivers sharp, high-contrast images, even in backlit conditions.

Nano Porous Coating is used in addition to the Super Multi-Layer Coating. In terms of coating, the lens is designed to be less affected by strong light incidence, such as reflections.

Close focusing distance of 18-38 cm
The closest focusing distance in the wide-angle range is 18 cm. This allows you to get closer to the subject when taking photos than the lens hood allows. The largest reproduction scale is 1:2.9 in the wide-angle range and 1:4.5 in the telephoto range, which allows a greater variety of expressive possibilities for close-ups.

Round aperture
The almost circular aperture consists of 11 diaphragm blades and ensures a very pleasant bokeh outside the focal plane of the image.

Dust and splash protection
Thanks to its dust and splash-proof construction, the lens is suitable for a wide range of applications and environments.

Brass bayonet
The lens is equipped with a solid and precise brass bayonet. The special treatment of the surface to reinforce the strength enables long-lasting use.
