Description
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 realizes both high quality performance and beautiful bokeh, which are common advantages to the series of all Lumix F1.8 lenses. The ED lenses effectively suppress chromatic aberration. It is suitable for versatile situations including landscapes and snapshots, which take advantage of the natural angle of view as well as portraits. It can also be used for close-up shots thanks to the minimum focusing distance of 0.24m.
The LUMIX S 35mm F1.8 is capable of smooth, silent operation to work with the camera’s high-speed, high-precision contrast AF system with the sensor drive at max.240 fps. For the non-linear setting, focus is shifted by a variable amount according to the rotation speed of the focus ring while focus is shifted with a designated amount according to the rotational quantum of the focus ring for the linear setting. Sensitivity (the amount of focus shift per rotational quantum) can be selected from 90 to 360 degrees, by 30 degree increments, to enable intended focus operation. The LUMIX S 35mm F1.8 also excels in video recording performance with a mechanism that suppresses focus breathing, which was a fatal problem of all interchangeable lenses designed for still image photography. Together with a micro-step aperture control for smooth exposure change, professional quality video can be recorded.
With its compact size and light weight of approximately 295g, the LUMIX S 35mm F1.8 features excellent mobility to pair with the S5, LUMIX’s smallest full-frame model. The rugged dust/splash-resistant design withstands use under harsh conditions even at 10 degrees below zero. The filter diameter is 67 mm, with a 9-blade circular aperture diaphragm.
