With the Lumix S 18mm F1.8 (S-S18), Panasonic presents a lens with an ultra-wide focal length. It is the fifth lens in the series of lenses with a large aperture of F1.8, which are based on the L-mount system standard. Despite its compact size, the Lumix S 18mm F1.8 (S-S18) with large aperture offers high optical performance that meets the quality standard for professional use. The ultra-wide 18mm perspective offers versatile application possibilities at different shooting distances. For wide-angle shots, it captures more foreground or background elements to create a dynamic impression in the image. When shooting from a short distance, the foreground subject can be given an artistic expression with the help of a rich perspective.
