S-S35E

New lens with fixed focal length and wide aperture: LUMIX S 35 mm F1.8 (S-S35), the fourth in the series of wide aperture F1.8 lenses based on the L-Mount system. All four lenses in this LUMIX S series - which includes 85mm (S-S85), 50mm (S-S50), 24mm (S-S24) and the new entry 35mm - have a common size and weight to ensure maximum practicality even when you need to connect the camera to a gimbal. Furthermore, having the same diameter, the filters are interchangeable. The goals are also similar in terms of performance.

LUMIX S 35 mm F1.8 is made up of 11 elements divided into nine groups, including three aspherical lenses and three ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) lenses that improve image sharpness by returning fabulous bokeh effects - two advantages common to all F1.8 series objectives. It lends itself to all situations, from large landscapes to fleeting moments, taking advantage of the natural angle of view, up to the portrait. In addition, it can be used for close-ups thanks to the 0.24m minimum focusing distance. ED lenses also effectively cancel chromatic aberrations.

The smooth and quiet operation of the new 35mm harmonizes perfectly with the high-performance AF system, with sensor actuation speeds of up to 240 fps. In the non-linear setting, the focus point undergoes a shift of variable entity based on the rotation speed of the ring, while in the linear setting it undergoes a shift of a specific entity based on how much the ring is rotated. Sensitivity (the shift of the focus point per rotation) can be set in 30 ° increments over a range of 90 ° to 360 ° to allow for the desired focus. LUMIX S 35 mm F1.8 is also exceptional in shooting and is able to eliminate the apparent zoom effect when changing the focus distance - the so-called focus breathing, an insurmountable problem for interchangeable lenses limited only to photography. This mechanism, also assisted by the micro-increments opening for a smooth change of exposure, ensures professional quality movies.

With a compact and lightweight body (only 295g), the new 35mm is super comfortable to take anywhere and to be used in conjunction with the S5, the smallest full-frame model in the LUMIX family. The solid body, resistant to dust and splashes, is designed for easy use and complete freedom of movement even in extreme conditions, such as temperatures of -10 ° C. Finally, the new lens can mount filters with a diameter of 67 mm and inside it is made up of a circular 9-blade aperture.
