Pancake Lens with a Fixed Aperture. The Panasonic Lumix S 26mm is a very simple lens with only one opening at f/8 for its aperture. It is manual focus only and offers a wide, 80-degree viewing angle. It is designed to be taken everywhere thanks to its pancake-style construction that is under an inch long and only 2 ounces. These lenses are also sometimes referred to as “body cap lenses” because of their extreme portability and resemblance to a camera’s body cap. It’s like protection for your camera body but you can also shoot with it!

Full of Creative Possibilities. Despite its wide angle of view, this lens is sharp to the edge of the frame and compensates well for the kind of distortion commonly seen in lenses this wide. Manual focusing, a single aperture opening, and a close 9.8" focusing distance allows for versatile expression and development of a personal style.

Try it with These L-Mount Cameras. This lens is designed to match the style of the Lumix S9 but it is compatible with any L-mount full-frame or APS-C/crop-frame camera. On cropped sensors it will produce an equivalent 39mm focal length.
