Description and Reviews

Key Take-Aways:

The Panasonic Lumix S 24mm f/1.8 is a compact, weather-sealed wide-angle prime lens featuring a fast f/1.8 aperture, 12 elements in 11 groups with special glass elements, and a close focusing distance of 0.24m. Professional reviews consistently praise the lens for its sharp center performance, beautiful color rendition, compact size matching other f/1.8 series lenses, and silent autofocus ideal for video, while noting noticeable edge distortion at f/1.8, moderate vignetting wide open, slower autofocus compared to competitors, and susceptibility to flare when shooting into direct sunlight. As of September 13, 2025, user feedback on forums and review sites indicates the lens delivers sharp images from f/1.8 with smooth bokeh and performs well for landscapes and environmental portraits, though some users find it expensive compared to Sigma alternatives.

From Panasonic:

Lumix S 24mm F1.8 is a large-diameter wide lens compatible with all L-mount cameras for maximum versatility, yet it has a compact size and weight. It features a common size and position of control parts with the other series of F1.8 lenses, with a center of gravity that is almost the same, so it is easy to exchange lenses quickly with minimum balance adjustment when the camera is on a gimbal.

  • 24mm-wide fixed focal length lens is a fantastic choice for everything from landscapes to snapshots, taking > * advantage of the wide angle of view
  • Great for portraiture, including beautiful bokeh; closest focusing distance 0.24 m/0.79 ft and max magnification 0.15x
  • Excels in Video Recording: High speed AF with minimal focus breathing and smooth aperture control
  • Compact, portable lens is easy to carry all day in comfort; dust/splash*/freeze-resistant design withstands heavy field use under harsh conditions
  • Easily Interchangeable with Other lenses: Minimal re-adjustment of the rigs along with consistent control rings and sizes across S series F1.8 lenses
