Panasonic Lumix S 35/1.8

One lens, many shooting options
The LUMIX S 35mm f/1.8's slightly wide-angle character makes it suitable for a wide range of subjects - making it the ideal lens for street photography, reportage or portraits with surroundings. With its compact size and light weight of approximately 295g, the LUMIX S 35mm F1.8 offers stunning portability for the LUMIX S5, LUMIX's smallest full-frame mirrorless model. Thanks to its rugged, dust- and splash-proof1 design, the lens can be used in temperatures as low as 10 degrees below zero, offering great flexibility at the same time.

Same dimensions for easy and consistent handling
A total of four f/1.8 fixed focal length lenses in the LUMIX S series, including 85mm, 50mm, 24mm, and the new 35mm lens all share the same size and position of controls to enable the same intuitive operation or easy adjustments for use of follow focus. Identical dimensions also allow the use of the same 67mm filters, matte boxes or underwater dome port with different focal lengths. Comparable weight distribution also eliminates lengthy adjustments when the camera is on a gimbal.

Sophisticated lens design for best image quality
The LUMIX S 35mm f/1.8 lens consists of eleven lens elements in nine groups, including three aspherical lenses and three ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) lenses. The use of three aspherical lenses and nine circular aperture blades enables both high imaging performance and an attractive bokeh effect with smooth sharpness-blur transitions. The ED lenses effectively suppress chromatic aberration. The lens also ensures high-quality video recording by minimizing focus breathing as best as possible. The aperture can be adjusted in extremely small increments, making exposure changes nearly stepless - another feature for professional video recording. Finally, during the joint development of the F1.8 lenses, emphasis was placed on a uniform image appearance as a further quality feature.

Particularly fine eye for focusing
The LUMIX S 35mm f/1.8 operates quickly and silently with the camera's high-precision contrast AF system at a maximum of 240 fps. When using manual focus, a non-linear or linear setting can be selected for the focus ring. In the non-linear setting, the focus is shifted by a variable amount according to the rotation speed of the focus ring, e.g. to switch more quickly between focus areas. In the linear setting, on the other hand, the focus is always shifted linearly according to the angle of rotation of the focus ring. In the linear setting, the entire focus range can be traversed in 90 to 360 degrees (adjustable in 30 degree increments). Thanks to the minimum focus distance of 0.24 m, it can also be used for close-up photography.
