News LUMIX S Series Camera Lens - 40mm F2 Compact Prime L-Mount Lens - S-S40

I am happy that Panasonic has figured out that the S9 needs smaller pancake type lenses, like the 18-40mm and the 40mm. I purchased the TT 40mm f2 a few weeks back as I had booked myself on a 3 week trip to the Adriatic. I am quite happy with the TT 40mm. I also bought the SG Image 35mm f2.2. I'd like to see wider lenses (I love the PL 15mm MFT lens so perhaps 30mm FF?) and some compact zooms. The Sigma 10-18 is APS-C. I'd like to see a FF version. Same goes for the APS-C Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 .

Yes, a 28mm or 30mm would be good.

The FF equivalent of the 18-50mm f/2.8 is the 28-70mm f/2.8 (by all reports also an excellent lens).

Pana had a fantastic PanaLeica 15mm (30mm FF equiv.) on M43. Still waiting for them to bring that lens back for full frame...

Yes, I know that lens has a good reputation. I have an old Pentax 30mm f/2.8 from the seventies that's pretty good but it's a rare focal length.
 
The Lumix 40mm f/2 lens finally arrived today!!

  • 1/350s
  • ISO 32

The size is perfect for use as an EDC combo alongside the S5ii. In addition to being very light.

The first thing I did was set the fn button on the lens barrel (focus area) and set the focus ring to now work as a crop zoom (then I can change the focal length from 40mm to 56mm, just as I have it set because I don't want to lose too much information for photo). Then I took a couple of photos of our cat.

I have checked that everything works perfectly fine. For video too.

And now the next step is to register the lens in my.eu.Panasonic.com. Z04 Flucht
I have to get a confirmation of the extension of the warranty for 5 years, because when I did register it does not say anything...

It just showed up on Panasonic USA. Expect to ship in 4 days. I ordered the silver one! It has a four year warranty here.
 
I hope they make a 24 or 28 version of this too. Maybe, just maybe, I might forget that the S9 does not have an EVF.
