S-S24E

Panasonic is pleased to introduce a new wide aperture fixed focal length lens: LUMIX S 24mm F1.8 (S-S24), the third in a series of four F1.8 wide aperture lenses based on the L mount system -Mount. All units in this LUMIX S series - which includes 85mm (S-S85), 50mm (S-S50) lenses and the new entry 24mm (S-S24) - have in common the size and position of the lenses. controls to ensure maximum ease of use. The center of gravity of these lenses is almost identical, so changing them takes only a few seconds and requires minimal adjustment of the connected equipment when the camera is mounted on a gimbal. Furthermore, the filters, having the same diameter, can be shared. The objectives are also similar in terms of descriptive performance.
LUMIX S 24 mm F1.8 is made up of 12 elements divided into 11 groups. In addition to three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses and one UED (Ultra Extra-low Dispersion), three aspherical lenses are also included that improve image description and achieve stunning bokeh effects - two advantages common to all F1 lenses. 8 of the series. It lends itself to all situations, from large landscapes to fleeting moments, taking advantage of a wide angle of view. ED lenses and UED lens effectively cancel chromatic aberrations.
The smooth and quiet operation of this 24mm F1.8 harmonizes perfectly with the high-speed, high-precision AF system, with the sensor actuation speed reaching 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 the rotational quantum of the ring. Sensitivity (the focus point shift however rotational) can be set in 30 ° increments over a range of 90 ° to 360 ° to allow for the desired focus. LUMIX S 24 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 ensures professional quality footage, also assisted by the micro-increment aperture for a smooth exposure change.

With a compact and lightweight format (only 310g), the LUMIX S 24mm F1.8 is super convenient to take anywhere and to be used in conjunction with the S5, the smallest full-frame model in the LUMIX family. Solid and resistant to dust and splashes1, it is designed for easy use and complete freedom of movement even in extreme conditions, such as temperatures of -10 ° C. The 67mm diameter filter has a 9-blade circular aperture diaphragm.
