The complete package

The LUMIX S 35mm F1.8 comes as the fourth addition to the growing series of fixed focal length, large-aperture F1.8 lenses based on the L-Mount system standard. These lenses feature a common size and position of control parts to provide practical advantages in use, and the centre of gravity of these lenses is almost the same so that it is easy to exchange lenses quickly with minimum balance adjustment when the camera is on a gimbal. Common filters can also be used thanks to the same diameter, and the descriptive performance of these lenses is also consistent.

 

Excellent image quality

The LUMIX S 35mm F1.8 is comprised of eleven lens elements in nine groups including three aspherical lenses and three ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) lenses. The use of three aspherical lenses realises both high descriptive performance and beautiful bokeh, which are common advantages to the series of all F1.8 lenses. The ED lenses effectively suppress chromatic aberration.

 

Versatile focal length

The lens can be used for versatile situations including landscapes and snapshots, taking advantage of the natural angle of view, as well as portrait. It can also be used for close-up shots as a result of the minimum focusing distance of 0.24m.

 

Stills and video performance

As well as featuring fast and quiet autofocus for stills photographer, the LUMIX S 35mm F1.8 also excels in video recording performance with a mechanism which suppresses focus breathing. Together with a micro-step aperture control for smooth exposure change, professional quality video is easy to capture.

 

Small, Light, Rugged

With its approximately 295g compact size and light weight, the LUMIX S 35mm F1.8 features stunning mobility to fit the S5, LUMIX’s smallest full-frame model. The rugged dust/splash-resistant (please note: this is designed to be resistant to dust and moister, but it is not water or dust proof) design withstands use under harsh conditions even at 10 degrees Celsius below zero.
