Compact Wide-Angle Prime. The Panasonic Lumix S 35mm f/1.8’s wide-angle focal length makes it a particularly great option for street scenes, landscapes, snapshots, and all-purpose photography. Its bright f/1.8 aperture and rounded nine-blade diaphragm produce pleasing bokeh and smooth defocus gradation. Using an APS-C camera? You’ll get a 52.5mm focal length.
L-Mount Alliance. This wide-diameter lens mount is a joint collaboration between Leica, Panasonic, and Sigma that’s focused on a line of premium cameras and lenses in a mirrorless format. At 51.6mm mount diameter and just 20mm flange distance, the L-mount is well-suited for fast-aperture full-frame optics with compact dimensions.
Linear Autofocus System. The 35mm f/1.8’s autofocus system uses a linear motor to provide fast, accurate, nearly silent performance for still and video use while suppressing focus breathing. You can use the AF/MF switch to easily toggle between autofocus and manual focus modes, and you can program the manual focus ring’s rotation to seamlessly move from infinite focus to close focus.
Premium Optics. This lens’s nine-group/eleven-element optical formula features three aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements to reduce chromatic aberrations and color fringing, producing sharp, clear, color-accurate images.
High-Quality Build. The lens barrel’s metal construction provides a solid, yet lightweight feel, while its splash-. dust-, and freeze-resistant design lets you work in inclement weather conditions down to -14° with confidence.
