When it comes to purchasing a lens, it can be a bit of a daunting task. Depending on what lens you ultimately go with can effectively alter the kind of photography and images you can shoot and produce. For instance, if you are wanting to shoot wildlife and you have bought a wide angle 7-14mm lens, chances are you won’t be getting any up-close action shots of the animals…unless you manage to get within a few metres of them.

Thankfully, Panasonic have an enormous range of lenses that are perfect for every kind of photography under the sun. From portrait to landscape to video, there is something for everyone. So if you’re feeling a little stuck on what lens will best fit your needs, or you are in need of a gear upgrade and want some inspiration, we’ve curated a list of six Panasonic lenses that cover just about everything.

Lumix S Pro 24-70mm f/2.8 Lens

You really cannot go wrong with this lens. It has one of the most versatile focal lengths going around, a bright f/2.8 aperture and boasts a razor-sharp precision that produces clean and crisp results. Equipped with Dual Autofocus Modes and a robust dust and splash resistant design, this is a lens that can really push your images to the next level. The handiest feature of the lens is the focal length, which can capture everything from vast surroundings to close ups, capturing fine details, making it an ideal landscape photography lens.

Lumix S Pro 50mm f/1.4 Lens

As a photographer there is nothing more satisfying than capturing a perfect portrait…when your subjects face is perfectly framed with impeccable clarity and sharpness and softened with a glowy bokeh effect in the background.
