Product details
With the Lumix S 85mm F1.8, Panasonic presents a fast lens for Lumix S full-frame cameras with a medium telephoto fixed focal length, which is particularly suitable for portrait photography thanks to its angle of view. The lens offers outstanding mobility thanks to its compact size and low weight. It is also characterised by a dust- and splash-resistant design and can be used in the most adverse conditions down to -10° C. The filter diameter is 67 mm and its 9-blade round aperture ensures a particularly attractive bokeh. It also ensures high-quality video recording by minimising focus breathing as much as possible.

For 640 euros, the 1.8/85 mm Pro is a comparatively inexpensive and, at 355 g, light 85 mm. Contrast and resolution should be somewhat higher in the centre of the image at aperture 1.8. Stopping down provides a good level of resolution and a very good level of contrast. Although the relative edge fall-off increases at first, in absolute terms the edge also increases continuously when stopped down...

- Low weight, a favourable price and very good imaging performance speak for the new S portrait lens from Panasonic.
- In resolution measurement, the Panasonic does not quite reach the top performance of other - but more expensive - lenses for the L bayonet.
Panasonic succeeds in its attempt to bring a breath of fresh air to the lens selection of the L bayonet. With very good image quality and an excellent price-performance ratio, the 85-millimetre lens is ready to go. We can look forward to the other products in this series.
