Panasonic has published (translated) an updated roadmap for its Lumix S L-mount lenses. The updated roadmap adds two new prime lenses and is notably missing the 100mm F2. 8 Macro lens compared to the previous lens roadmap, released back in August 2019.
Based on the information shown in the above roadmap graphic, Panasonic will be releasing three prime lenses and three zoom lenses in 2020:
24mm F1. 8
50mm F1. 8
85mm F1. 8
Wide-angle zoom lens
Standard zoom lens
Telephoto zoom lens
No details are given for the focal lengths of the zoom lenses, but based on the infographic, it seems nearly every focal length from around 24mm through 280mm will be covered.
Although no specifics were mentioned in our recent interview with Yosuke Yamane, Director of Panasonic’s Imaging Business Division, he did talk about the importance of working alongside Sigma and Leica to expand and improve the lens options for the L-mount alliance, going so far as to saying the trio is ‘discussing changes to the communication protocol between the cameras and lenses. ’
