The Panasonic Lumix S 18–40 mm f/4.5–6.3 is a compact, lightweight zoom lens designed for full-frame L-Mount cameras, offering an ideal balance between portability, sharpness, and creative flexibility. Whether you’re shooting stills or video, it delivers rich detail and colour in a form factor that’s perfect for life on the move.
Covering a versatile 18–40 mm focal range, this lens is made for creators who capture a bit of everything — travel, lifestyle, vlogs, landscapes, and even environmental portraits. At 18 mm, it’s wide enough for sweeping scenes or tight indoor spaces; at 40 mm, it transitions smoothly into flattering portrait territory with natural compression.
The f/4.5–6.3 aperture keeps the design lightweight and portable while still allowing for beautiful depth and background separation. Despite its compact form, optical performance remains exceptional, with edge-to-edge clarity, minimal distortion, and excellent colour rendering across the zoom range.
Inside, Panasonic’s advanced optical design includes aspherical (ASPH) and extra-low dispersion (ED) elements that reduce chromatic aberration and flare. The result: high-contrast, colour-accurate images in every lighting condition.
For video creators, the Lumix S 18–40 mm is built with smooth, near-silent autofocus and minimal focus breathing — perfect for cinematic transitions and handheld recording. It also supports Dual I.S. 2 stabilisation when paired with compatible Lumix S-series bodies, helping you shoot steadier footage without a gimbal.
At only 130 g, it’s one of the lightest full-frame zooms in Panasonic’s lineup, making it an excellent everyday or travel lens. The compact design pairs beautifully with cameras like the Lumix S5 II and S9, delivering powerful results in a small, easy-to-carry setup.
Built to go wherever your creativity takes you, the Lumix S 18–40 mm is ideal for creators, vloggers, and hybrid shooters who want a high-quality lens that fits comfortably in their day-to-day kit.
