Panasonic Lumix S 18mm f/1.8 Lens For L Mount Summary

The release of the Panasonic Lumix S 18mm f/1.8 Lens For L Mount cameras marks the arrival of the widest L mount lens in a series of five high-quality prime optics to date.

Panasonic Lumix S 18mm f/1.8 Lens For L Mount in More Detail

Beautiful results from corner to corner

A high quality optical design renders high resolution for stills and video, beautiful bokeh and low coma aberration, which is ideal when shooting stars and astro photography. The optical formula is composed of 13 elements arranged in 12 groups, which includes 3 ASPH, 1 UED, 3 ED AND 1 UHR special lens elements.

The 9-bladed aperture diaphragm renders pleasingly smooth out of focus areas and beautiful bokeh balls on this ultra wide lens.

Excellent focus performance

Whether capturing images or videos the Panasonic Lumix S 18mm f/1.8 Lens delivers high-speed and high-precision AF with L mount cameras. The focus ring supports linear and non linear settings when shooting in MF for added versatility when capturing movies.

Creative lens for video

With such an extensive range of cameras for hybrid shooters and videographers, the Panasonic S 18mm f/1.8 includes a number of video-centric features. These include the ability to make smooth exposure changes through micro-step aperture control, well suppressed focus breathing, which minimises any changes to the angle of view when pulling focus. The inner focus and linear motor mechanism delivers silent AF and allows you to accurately track subjects across the frame. When shooting in MF and linear focus is selected you are able to adjust the rotation angle of the focus ring to suit your shooting style and the lens provides great compatibility with follow focus systems.

Unified prime lens design for high quality video production

This is the fifth prime lens from Panasonic which offers a unified shooting experience when changing lenses, switching filters and mounting your camera on a gimbal such as the DJI RS 3 or Zhiyun Weebill 3. With similar weight and balance switching lenses to change focal widths while using a gimbal is simple as the gimbal maintains similar tilt and roll, with no adjustments or rebalancing required.

The four other lenses in the range also offer a 67mm filter thread and similar characteristics:

Lumix S 24mm F/1.8
