Panasonic LUMIX S 40mm f/2.0 Reviews

Excellent Compact Lens

By Gerald
Rated 5 out of 5

I have both the Lumix 35mm f/1.8 and the 50mm f/1.8. This 40mm is much smaller and lighter than both, and from what I can tell, this 40mm is just as sharp. I can give up 1/3 of a stop for all of these benefits. Now Lumix needs to produce some additional lenses in this form factor (28mm, 20mm, 65mm, and 90mm?). Bottom line: highly recommended.

Punching above its weight class

I own the Nikkor Z 40mm f2, Canon RF 45mm 1.2 and now the Lumix 40mm F2 and the Lumix 40 f2 is by far the best one. Something about the colors and the way it renders on my Lumix S1R2 straight out of camera is gorgeous. It doesn't have the crazy chromatic aberration like the RF 45 and it also has better background separation than the Nikkor Z 40mm. Your subject just pops nicely.
