Panasonic introduces S 85mm F1.8

Panasonic today announced the release of the Lumix S 85mm F1.8 lens for L-mount cameras. Very compact and lightweight, the new lens is especially suitable for portrait photography. At roughly 600 dollars it is much cheaper than previous Panasonic lenses for L-mount which typically retail for around $2.000. Besides the new 85mm, Panasonic plans to release three more lenses with F1.8 within the near future.

Panasonic:

Comprising 9 elements in 8 groups, the use of 2 ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses effectively suppresses both axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration of magnification. Panasonic S series lenses even pursue the beauty of bokeh and the LUMIX S 85mm F1.8 provides smooth defocus gradation from the focus peak to the neighboring area of the image as well as smooth, round bokeh of point light source without vignetting. The LUMIX S 85mm F1.8 also excels in video recording performance with a mechanism that suppresses focus breathing, which was a critical problem of all interchangeable lenses designed for still image photography.

With its compact, approximately 355g of light weight, the LUMIX S 85mm F1.8 features stunning mobility. The rugged dust/splash-resistant* design withstands use under harsh conditions even at 10 degrees below zero for high mobility. The filter diameter is 67 mm, with a 9-blade circular aperture diaphragm.

The Panasonic S 85mm F1.8 will be available in December of 2020 for a MSRP of US$ 599.
