Panasonichas announced the Lumix S 100mm F2.8 Macro, the world’s smallest and lightest lens of its kind.

I got to try the new lens out ahead of its announcement, and it’s barely a handful.

The lens has nine aperture blades to produce rounded bokeh at f/2.8, making it well suited to portraiture.

Analysis: does size matter?
