LUMIX S 35mm F1.8 is a large-diameter prime lens compatible with all L-mount cameras for maximum versatility. It features a common size and position of control parts with the other series of F1.8 lenses (S-S85, S-S50, S-S24 and this S-S35), with a center of gravity that is almost the same, so it is easy to exchange lenses quickly with minimum balance adjustment when the camera is on a gimbal. They all feature rugged dust/splash-resistant* design and common filters can be used thanks to the same diameter. The descriptive performance of these lenses is also consistent. S-S35 is comprised of 11 lens elements in 9 groups including 3 aspherical lenses and 3 ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) lenses. The 3 aspherical lenses realize both high descriptive performance and beautiful bokeh, while the ED lenses effectively suppress chromatic aberration, making the lens suitable for landscapes, snapshots, and portraits. The minimum focusing distance of 0.24m allows it to be used for close-up shots. The S-S35 also excels in video recording performance with a mechanism that suppresses focus breathing, together with a micro-step aperture control for smooth exposure change for recording professional quality video.

The build quality feels solid and professional
The Panasonic LUMIX S-S85 85mm F1.8 lens has quickly become my go-to for portraits and close-up shots. The build quality feels solid and professional, yet it’s surprisingly lightweight, which makes it easy to carry around on shoots. The image quality is stunning—razor-sharp with beautiful, creamy bokeh that adds so much depth to my shots. Autofocus is quick and quiet, perfect for both photography and video work. For the price, this lens is a steal! It’s a must-have addition to any LUMIX S series kit. Highly recommended!

A must for portraits!
This lens came free as a part of a promotional package. Honestly, the value was too good to pas sup when I was looking at the camera. If you want amazingly sharp photos, with contrast, and bokeh, this is a must for portraits.
