Panasonic is pleased to announce the new LUMIX S 18-40mm F4.5-6.3 lens based on the L-Mount system standard.
The new LUMIX S 18-40mm is the world’s smallest and lightest* zoom lens, weighing approximately 155g/0.34lb, and is designed to be a compact and lightweight addition to the LUMIX S Series full frame lens line up.
