The Panasonic Lumix S 85mm f/1.8 is a compact short-telephoto prime designed for full-frame L-mount mirrorless cameras. The 85mm focal length is ideally suited for portraiture and more selective shooting and pairs with a modestly bright f/1.8 maximum aperture that offers depth of field control while also promoting a sleek form factor. The optical design incorporates a pair of extra-low dispersion elements, which help to reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to achieve high clarity and accurate color rendering. Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture offers control over the depth of field and suits working in available lighting conditions as well as promotes a compact form factor. Linear autofocus motor delivers smooth, precise, and near-silent focusing performance to benefit both stills and video applications.
