I hate zooms, but I loved this lens (Panasonic 28-200mm f/4-7.1)

Описание: I usually despise superzooms. If it’s darker than f/4, I don't want it in my kit. But after taking the Lumix 28-200mm f/4-7.1 from the freezing basketball courts of Estonia (-20°C!) to the golden hour in California, I might have found a new favorite "Holiday King."

Is an f/7.1 aperture actually usable in the real world? In this video, I’m putting the Lumix 28-200mm to the test on the S5IIX and the S9. We’re looking at:

The Weight Factor: Why I left my 70-200mm f/2.8 behind.

Low Light & High ISO: How Lightroom’s AI noise reduction saves the day.

The S9 Pairing: Is this the perfect compact setup for travel?

Estonia vs. California: Real-world results from two completely different environments.

I’m not a fan of technical spec-dumping, so let’s talk about how this gear actually feels when you’re on the move.
