New Panasonic 26mm f/8.0 pancake lens coming along the Lumix S9

I have some additional info to share about the new lenses:

  • Both the new 18-40mm compact zoom lens (variable aperture) and the 26mm f/8.0 will only ship in September/October
  • Initially the Lumix S9 will be offered with the Lumix 20-60mm as kit lens.
  • The 26mm f/8.0 has 0,25m close focusing, it’s manual focus only, and sharp in the center
  • The Lumix S9 plus 26mm lens seem to be a tiny bit smaller than the FujiFilmX100VI.

Photographers told me that this combo (S9+26mm) is a joy to use. Truly easy to carry with you and Image Quality is great for street photography. Hopefully Panasonic plans to make also some faster pancakes like the Nikon 26mm f/2.8.

Lumix S9:
Like I told you yesterday I saw the real life camera. I can confirm it has a dedicated LUT button with completely new functionalities. Will do a video about this very soon!
