Lumix S 40mm F2 overview
The Panasonic Lumix S 40mm F2 is a 40mm f/2 prime for full-frame cameras on L-Mount, announced by Panasonic in April 2026. 24 cameras we track take it without an adapter.
Going by its spec sheet, it suits travel.
New, it sells for A$609.09 to A$745 at the 4 stores we track in Australia that have it in stock. Over the last 90 days it has usually cost A$559 to A$649 new.
Worth comparing it with the TTArtisan AF 40mm F2, Leica APO-Summicron-SL 35 f/2 ASPH. and Leica Summicron-SL 35 f/2 ASPH..
