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 $299.99 in the United States (Camera West); used and refurbished copies start at $115.95. Over the last 90 days it has usually cost $195 to $300 new. It launched at $199.99.

Worth comparing it with the Viltrox AF 28mm F4.5 and Laowa 25mm f/2.8 2.5-5X Ultra Macro.
