Panasonic Lumix S 40mm F2 Lens

The LUMIX S 40mm F2 is a compact, lightweight prime camera lens designed for everyday creativity, offering a natural perspective and a bright F2 aperture for beautifully balanced images with soft bokeh and strong low light performance - ideal for street, portraits, landscapes, and daily storytelling. Designed for hybrid creators, the lens delivers focus breathing suppression and micro step aperture control for smooth, consistent video capture. Positioned between wide and standard focal lengths on L-Mount full frame cameras, it features a 30cm minimum focus distance, perfect for tabletop, food, and lifestyle detail shots and Crop Zoom capability up to 2x while maintaining image quality for added flexibility. With intuitive controls, a dust- and splash-resistant design, and renowned Japanese engineering, the LUMIX S 40mm F2 lens delivers sharp, expressive results in a remarkably compact and lightweight form - perfect for creating all day, anywhere.

Where a zoom lens adapts the angle of view to the moment, a fixed focal length lens allows you to move, shaping the frame for yourself. It is a deeper, more rewarding way to enjoy creative expression. With a natural 40mm view, a large F2 aperture, and beautiful bokeh, this lens brings the scene in front of you to life. Compact and lightweight, it is easy to keep mounted and slip into your bag, ready for everything from everyday moments to inspiring travel scenery.

A 40mm focal length delivers a perspective close to that of the human eye, making it easy to frame scenes with a familiar angle of view. With a large F2 aperture, you can highlight your subject with soft background bokeh and shoot at faster shutter speeds without raising ISO, even at twilight or in low-light interiors. From street photographs and landscapes to portraits, this lens performs across a wide range of scenes. It captures not only the subject, but also the atmosphere within the frame, turning everyday moments into expressive images.

Experience the impressive bokeh and rich creative expression unique to a fixed focal length lens. Create portraits and familiar scenes with soft background bokeh, or capture night scenes that render the sparkle of streetlights beautifully. One lens, many styles. With the closest focusing distance of 30cm, it is suitable for tabletop photography, from small objects and food to seasonal flowers, making it a versatile choice for everyday shooting.

Measuring just approx. 40.9mm and weighing approx. 144g, this lens is sized to match the LUMIX S9, compact enough to stay mounted and go straight into your bag. Its profile aligns with that of the collapsed LUMIX S 18-40mm F4.5-6.3 zoom lens, and the 62mm filter size stays consistent across both. Choose the zoom when you want flexible framing, and switch to a fixed focal length lens when you want more intentional creative control. Together, these two lenses provide an agile full-frame system that expands your creative freedom.

Because this is a lens you will want to carry with you every day, it is designed to keep shooting in unpredictable environments. Its dust- and splash-resistant construction helps you capture fleeting moments, while allowing you to shoot in temperatures as low as -10 degrees C. The fluorine coating applied to the front lens makes it easy to remove oil-based dirt that sticks to it.
