Lumix S 18mm F1.8 overview
The Panasonic Lumix S 18mm F1.8 is an 18mm f/1.8 prime for full-frame cameras on L-Mount, announced by Panasonic in September 2022. 24 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits landscapes and interiors as well as low light.
No store we track in Australia lists it today. It is listed in the United States.
Worth comparing it with the Sigma 20mm F2 DG DN | Contemporary, Sigma 20mm F1.4 DG DN | Art and Viltrox AF 20mm F2.8 Air.
