Lumix S 26mm F8 overview
The Panasonic Lumix S 26mm F8 is a 26mm f/8 prime for full-frame cameras on L-Mount, announced by Panasonic in May 2024. 24 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits travel. It is a weaker pick for rain and dust, low light without a tripod, and fast-moving subjects.
New, it sells for A$200 to A$349 at the 3 stores we track in Australia that have it in stock; used and refurbished copies start at A$152.10. Over the last 90 days it has usually cost A$253 to A$295 new.
Worth comparing it with the Viltrox AF 28mm F4.5 and Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro.
