Panasonic LUMIX S Series 85mm f/1.8 Mirrorless Lens for L-Mount

The LUMIX S 85mm f/1.8 is a large-aperture medium-telephoto fixed focal length lens, compatible with all L-mount cameras for maximum versatility. It enhances portrait photography with its beautiful bokeh effect in a compact and lightweight body. Comprising of 9 elements in 8 groups, the 2 ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lenses effectively suppress both axial chromatic aberration and chromatic aberration of magnification. The LUMIX S 85mm f/1.8 provides smooth defocus gradation from the focus peak to the neighboring area of the image as well as smooth, round bokeh of point light source without vignetting. It also excels in video recording performance with a mechanism that suppresses focus breathing, which was a fatal problem of all interchangeable lenses designed for still image photography. The rugged dust/splash-resistant design withstands use under harsh conditions even at 14 degrees Fahrenheit.

Panasonic LUMIX S Series 85mm f/1.8 Mirrorless L Mount Lens (S-S85)

Panasonic LUMIX S Series 85mm f/1.8 Mirrorless Lens for L-Mount SKU: S-S85

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing lens So Themis lens is so spectacular due to it being the same light weight and dimension as the other lenses. The compression it creates is unmatched for anything in this price range as well as the bokeh and the look. This lens is worth it.
