Lumix S 18-40mm f/4.5-6.3

The Panasonic LUMIX S 18-40mm f/4.5-6.3 is a compact full-frame zoom lens designed for L-Mount cameras, weighing only 5.5 ounces and measuring 1.6 inches in length. The lens features an 18-40mm focal range with a maximum aperture ranging from f/4.5 at the wide end to f/6.3 at the telephoto end, making it suitable for landscapes, architectural photography, and everyday shooting. Its optical design incorporates three aspherical elements, two extra-low dispersion elements, and one ultra-high refractive element to deliver sharp, high-resolution images across the entire frame.

The lens is built for durability and portability with dust, splash, and freeze-resistant construction, along with a fluorine coating on the front element to repel water and debris. It features autofocus capability with a minimum focus distance of 5.9 inches at the wide end, and it suppresses focus breathing for improved video performance. When used with compatible cameras featuring Hybrid Zoom functionality, such as the LUMIX S9, this lens can achieve an extended zoom range of up to 18-120mm equivalent.
