Panasonic LUMIX S 24m f/1.8 is a new fast prime lens for Leica L-Mount cameras. It features similar physical attributes as the existing LUMIX S prime lenses with compact size and weight and a 67mm front filter thread. The lens has linear focus ring control for mechanical-based follow focus systems and a micro-step aperture control for smooth exposure changes – both features are useful for video shooting. The LUMIX S 24mm f/1.8 lens will ship in mid-October for around $898. As a part of the L-Mount Alliance, Panasonic committed to providing enough native lenses for the system. At the beginning of the era of LUMIX S full-frame cameras, Panasonic first introduced professional zoom and prime lenses with premium price tags. Alongside SIGMA, both Japanese companies have been lately bringing relatively affordable glass for the Leica L lens mount cameras. Last year in November, Panasonic started launching the LUMIX S line of affordable f/1.8 primes. The first lens of the line that came out was the LUMIX S 85mm f/1.8 (check our news article and our review of the lens). In June 2021, the next lens followed – LUMIX S 50mm f/1.8 (check our news article here). Recently, Panasonic announced the third lens of the affordable prime family – say hello to the LUMIX S 24mm f/1.8. Let’s take a short look at the features and specs of the lens.
