Panasonic Lumix S 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6

As a kit lens, the Lumix S 20-60mm f/3.5-5.6 represents excellent value for money since it only adds about AU$500 to the overall price for the kit. Even as a stand-alone lens, you won’t find many similarly priced lenses as well built as this one. The 20-60mm focal length range makes it suitable for a wide range of genres, from landscapes and interiors, where the wide angle of view will be advantageous. It will also be useful for travellers and for everyday photographers to use as a ‘walkaround lens’ for general photography. Its range is excellent for street photography. The Lumix S 20-60mm lens is sealed against dust and moisture, as well as being freeze-resistant to -10 degrees Celsius. This makes it a good choice for outdoor use. The suppression of focus breathing will also make it ideal for recording video.

The Panasonic Lumix S 20-60mm F3.5-5.6's wider-than-normal coverage, coupled with quality construction, makes it the best starter lens for any full-frame camera system.
