Panasonic lumix s 70 300mm f 4 5 5 6 macro ois vs panasonic 28 200mm f 4 7 1?

Both are Panasonic L-Mount macro zooms with optical stabilisation, and they split the job between them.

The Panasonic Lumix S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Macro OIS is the reach lens. On full frame it covers 70-300mm, and it's the one to pick for distant subjects, wildlife or sports from a distance. It's also autofocus and stabilised, and it fits a wide range of L-Mount bodies.

The Panasonic Lumix S 28-200mm f/4-7.1 Macro OIS starts wider, at 28mm, and so suits everyday shooting, travel and general walkaround work, where you want one lens to cover wide scenes and moderate telephoto. It's the more versatile of the two for a single-lens kit.

If you mainly shoot far-away subjects, choose the 70-300mm. If you want one lens for most things, choose the 28-200mm.
