Is the panasonic lumix s 14 28mm f 4 5 6 macro worth buying used?

Probably, if you want a wide zoom for L-Mount and don't need stabilisation. The page doesn't list a price, so you'll need to compare current used listings yourself. It's a full-frame lens that works on APS-C too, where it frames like 21-42mm. Its f/4-5.6 aperture gets darker as you zoom in, and it isn't stabilised, so bright light or a tripod will help, especially for close work.

Good lenses hold their value far better than bodies, which makes a used purchase a low-risk way in. The buying used guide explains why. It fits a wide range of L-Mount bodies, including the Panasonic Lumix S5 and the Panasonic Lumix S1R II.
