Panasonic Lumix S 18-40mm F4.5-6.3

The Panasonic Lumix S 18-40mm F4.5-6.3 is a compact zoom lens designed for easy everyday use. It offers a range of focal lengths from 18mm for wide-angle shots to 40mm, making it the ideal choice for natural portraits. This gives you the flexibility to take a wide variety of photos. The lens features fast and accurate autofocus and smooth aperture changes that modern content creators will especially appreciate - whether shooting stills or 4K video. The lens is designed for shooting in the harshest environments thanks to its dust- and splash-proof construction, allowing you to shoot in temperatures as low as -10°C. Fluorine coating on the front lens prevents oily dirt from sticking to the lens.

S-R1840 Lens Design

The optimized configuration consists of 8 elements in 7 groups with 3 aspherical lenses, 2 ED lenses and 1 UHR lens, providing superior resolution and minimizing aberration. By using the extendable zoom system, the overall length and weight of the lens has been reduced to less than half that of a conventional LUMIX S-series zoom lens. Even when combined with the LUMIX S9, it is still extremely lightweight at just 641g.
