Panasonic S-S24 LUMIX S 24mm Lens

Overview
The LUMIX S 24mm F1.8 is a high-performance lens with twelve lens elements in eleven groups, including three aspherical lenses, three ED lenses, and one UED lens. These elements work together to provide both excellent image quality and beautiful bokeh, a common feature among all F1.8 lenses in the series. The ED and UED lenses also effectively reduce chromatic aberration.

This lens is designed to work seamlessly with the cameras AF system, with a maximum sensor drive of 240 fps. It offers both linear and non-linear focus settings, with the sensitivity (amount of focus shift per rotational quantum) adjustable from 90 to 360 degrees. The LUMIX S 24mm F1.8 is also great for video recording, with a mechanism that minimizes focus breathing and a micro-step aperture control for smooth exposure changes. It is compact and lightweight, making it a perfect fit for the LUMIX S5, the smallest full-frame model in the LUMIX series. With its rugged design, it can withstand harsh conditions and is even usable in temperatures as low as -10 degrees Celsius. The filter diameter is 67mm, and it features a 9-blade circular aperture diaphragm. As part of the Panasonic and L-Mount system alliance, this lens is just one of many F1.8 large-aperture lenses being developed to meet the needs of customers.

About the Panasonic S-S24 LUMIX S 24mm Lens
The LUMIX S 24mm F1.8 is comprised of twelve lens elements in eleven groups including three aspherical lenses, three ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) lenses andone UED (Ultra Extra-Low Dispersion) lens. The use of three aspherical lenses realises both high descriptive performance and beautiful bokeh, which are common advantages to the series of all F1.8 lenses. The ED lenses and the UED lens effectively suppress chromatic aberration.

The LUMIX S 24mm F1.8 is capable of smooth, silent operation to work with the camera’s AF system with the sensor drive at max. 240 fps. For the non-linear setting, focus is shifted with 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 by30 degrees to enable intended focus operation. The LUMIX S 24mm F1.8 also excels in video recording performance with a mechanism that suppresses focus breathing. Together with a micro-step aperture control for smooth exposure change, professional quality video can be recorded.

With its approximately 310g compact size and light weight, the LUMIX S 24mm F1.8 features stunning mobility to fit the S5, LUMIX’s smallest full-frame model.The rugged dust/splash-resistant design withstands use under harsh conditions even at 10 degrees Celsius below zero. The filter diameter is 67 mm, with a 9-blade circular aperture diaphragm.

With the addition of the upcoming standard 35 mm fixed focal length lens and the four F1.8 large-aperture lenses of the LUMIX S series, the Panasonic and L-Mount system alliance is committed to the development of L-Mount lenses for the further expansion of its line up to fulfill the needs of customers.
