The Panasonic Lumix S 18mm F1.8 ($999.99) slots in as the widest autofocusing prime for L-mount cameras. Its angle of view makes it a good fit for present-to-camera vlogs, its bright aperture softens backgrounds, and when stopped down it works well for landscapes, cityscapes, and architecture. It costs a bit more than the similarly minded Sigma 20mm F2 DG DN Contemporary ($699), but the Panasonic lens includes more robust weather protection, as well as linear focus response. Along with the wider angle, there's reason to spend more on the Lumix S 18mm F1.8, especially for video applications.Wide Angle for L-Mount The Lumix S 18mm works with full-frame L-mount cameras made by Leica, Panasonic, and Sigma. It's a mid-sized prime, coming in at 3.2 by 2.9 inches (HD) and 12 ounces, with support for 67mm front filters. It matches up with the Lumix S 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm F1.8 lenses in general form and filter size, a plus for swapping lenses on gimbals or sharing a set of filters. ...

Thanks to its bright aperture and wide angle of view, the Panasonic Lumix S 18mm F1.8 is a good lens for vlogs, landscapes, and interiors, though it costs a bit more than alternatives.

Bright optics with full-frame coverage; Super-wide angle of view ideal for landscapes and vlogs; Quick, quiet linear autofocus; Dust, splash, and smudge protection; Minimal focus breathing for video; Modest form factor is a good match for gimbals

Can exhibit false color in focus transitions; Few on-barrel controls

The Lumix S 18mm f/1.8 slips neatly into Panasonic’s f/1.8 range of L-mount lenses, offering the widest focal length in the collection. It delivers high quality results and despite its wide field of view, it’s remarkably untroubled by curvilinear distortion.

Nice size and weight for full-frame, Weather-resistant design, Excellent image quality

No stabilisation, Focus ring not customisable
