Consumer test and review of the kit lens for Panasonic full-frame cameras LUMIX S Series 20-60mm F3.5-5.6 Mirrorless L Mount (S-R2060)

LUMIX S Series 20-60mm F3.5-5.6 Mirrorless L Mount (S-R2060)
Today we are taking a closer look at one of the best kit lens that we have tested so far - the 20-60mm F3.5-5.6 Mirrorless L Mount (S-R2060) lens that we use on our Panasonic Lumix S5. 

It has been only a month that we have spent with this camera and lens combo and we have to admit that we are truly impressed by the quality of this optics.

And even though it is not optically stabilized lens and not made of metal it has some other very positive qualities. Here are just some of them as stated by Panasonic:

L-MOUNT COMPATIBLITY - Designed for compatibility with LUMIX S-Series Full-Frame digital cameras
VERSATILE FOCAL LENGTH - Standard zoom lens covering ultra wide 20mm to standard 60mm in a compact, lightweight body, with compatibility for 67mm threaded filters
CLOSE UP CAPABILITY - Enables close-up shooting with minimum focusing distance of 5.9inch
VIDEO SUPPORT - Excels in video recording performance with smooth exposure changes and suppressed focus breathing
RUGGED DESIGN - Dust/splash/freeze-resistant design withstands heavy field use under harsh conditions

Versatile is probably the most adequate description for this lens. It is also quite sharp despite the fact that it starts at F3.5. Of course the big downside is that we don't have a constant F which for some may be a major issue but for us this is not a deal-breaker (at least for us).


And here are some images of our LUMIX S Series 20-60mm F3.5-5.6 Mirrorless L Mount (S-R2060) lens:

With the shortest focal length this lens is quite versatile but it does not zoom internally so it gets quite long and ugly when zoomed to maximum 60mm.

Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 3 First Look Review: Did They Fix the Flaws?

By
Lenovo ThinkPad E16 Gen 3: Flaw Fixed, Efficiency Gained Hey everyone, and welcome back! I was excited to finally get my hands on the third generation of the Lenovo ThinkPad E16 . As many of you know, I spent a good amount of time with the Gen 2, and while it was a solid business machine, there were definitely a few things that needed attention. This is my very first look at the Gen 3, and I wanted to share my initial feedback on what’s improved and what hasn’t. The E16 Gen 3 I’m reviewing here is equipped with the Intel Core Ultra 5 processor, shared Intel graphics, and 32GB of RAM.

Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A Full HD LED TV review

By
Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A Full HD LED TV price, specs and review Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A  Full HD LED TV Sony Bravia KDL-42W650A review - today at our consumer blog we are going to take a look at one of the latest 42-inch Sony Full HD TVs which offers great picture quality and will suit best everyone who needs an excellent home cinema experience without 3D effects. Sony Bravia KDL-42W650 is still not very popular around the world and the reason for that is not the lack of quality or functions which this TV is fully packed with but because of the fact that the  KDL-42W650/ KDL-42W650A is mostly going to be sold in Eastern Europe and some parts of Asia. Of course you can find this TV in other countries as well but it is still not presented in huge markets like UK and USA.
