Panasonic has introduced a fast L-mount S 24mm F1.8 (S-S24) lens, preliminary information about which appeared shortly before the announcement.
It is the third f / 1.8 maximum aperture L-mount lens in the Lumix S series. It is similar in size and center of gravity to the previously released 85mm and 50mm models, making it easier to swap lenses such as , when filming, when the camera is fixed in the gimbal and balanced. It is also convenient that all these lenses are designed for filters of the same diameter.
The advantages of the lens include a quiet and fast autofocus drive, no “breathing of focus”, that is, changing the focal length of the lens depending on the distance at which it focuses, as well as microstepping aperture control, which allows you to smoothly change exposure to get professional-level video.
