Panasonic Lumix S 24mm F1.8

The Lumix S 24mm F1.8 is the third of the four compact f/1.8 L-mount prime lenses that Panasonic announced were in development back in September 2020. It follows on from the Lumix S 85mm F1.8 that was unveiled in November 2020 and the Lumix S 50mm F1.8 that I reviewed in the 9 October issue of AP. The next in the pipeline is a 35mm F1.8 lens.

Before the 24mm f/1.8 came along, brand-loyal photographers wanting to shoot at 24mm with their Panasonic S-series mirrorless camera had a choice of four zoom lenses, the S 20-60mm F3.5-5.6 (£619.99), S 24-105mm F4 Macro OIS (£1,290), S Pro 16-35mm F4 (£1,499) and the S Pro 24-70mm F2.8 (£2,149).
