Panasonic Lumix S 18mm F1.8 Lens

Looking for a wide-angle prime lens to pair with your full-frame L-mount camera? We urge you to consider the Panasonic Lumix S 18mm f1.8 lens. This lens, with its wide field of view, is ideal for capturing dynamic landscape and architectural photography, and much more. The lens includes a bright maximum aperture rating as well as a 9-blade circular aperture, which results in bokeh being smooth, natural and pleasing to the eye, while the bright aperture also helps you succeed in your low light photography endeavours.

The Panasonic Lumix S f1.8 lens features a premium optical design, with a range of high-end elements working together to maximise on the high-resolution image sensors of L-Mount cameras. This includes three Aspherical, three low dispersion, one ultra extra-low dispersion, and one ultra-high refractive index lens element; this all means that image sharpness is prominent at all apertures, and distortions and aberrations are well managed. The lens is not just perfect for shooting wide subjects, but also those right up close to your lens, thanks to a closest focus of just 18cm.

Well the optical design of this lens is an obvious drawcard, its physical attributes should also be noted. A dust, moisture and freeze-resistant design is evident, which means this lens can accompany you to more unpredictable climates, without you having to worry too much about the wellbeing of the lens; this will surely result in you capturing a higher-quantity of excellent images. Ideal for video applications, this lens includes a fast and quiet AF system, supressed focus breathing, and a linear focus control ring, which makes the lens compatible with manual focus follow systems. Micro-step aperture control also provides smooth exposure changes, which is ideal for video shooting.
