The lens is key to creating a more compact mirrorless system – and L-Mount shooters have a new compact everyday lens option. The Panasonic Lumix S 40mm f/2 is a prime lens that weighs just 144g / 5oz – but the company has also unveiled that two more lenses are on the way.
The new 40mm is designed as an everyday lens to complement smaller bodies like the Panasonic Lumix S9 – which has a new Black Titanium edition also announced on April 21. The 40mm’s 40.9mm length makes it the same size – but slightly lighter – than the Lumix S 18-40mm f/4.5-6.3, which is the kit lens paired with the S9 camera.
