For example, photographing in a forested area with bright sun shining through the trees, you can see some purple fringing appear along high-contrast edges, such a backlit leaves and tree branches, when shooting at f/1.8. Meanwhile, purple fringing can be quite noticeable, especially when shooting at f/1.8 in harsh, high-contrast situations.
And indeed, stopping the lens down to about at least f/2.8 helps brighten up the corner shading. If you're photographing a scene where you want crisp edge-to-edge sharpness and even brightness, you're likely to be stopping the lens down anyway. Vignetting is quite noticeable when shooting wide-open, though to my tastes, it's not overly distracting. In other areas, namely vignetting and purple fringing, the 24mm f/1.8 S does show some issues at certain apertures and in certain situations. It goes without saying that this compact lens feels comfortable and unintrusive on this larger camera body, seeing as it's only about three inches in length and weighs a mere 310g (0.68lbs.). The lens feels designed particularly well designed for the smaller Lumix S5 full-frame camera, while the lens feels a bit dwarfed by the larger S1R camera I used. The benefit here for still photographers, however, is that they get a lightweight, compact and easy-to-carry wide-angle prime that still has a nice, fast aperture. Having similarly-sized and similarly-weighted lenses makes it much less time-consuming to swap around lenses as needed for a given shoot. Oftentimes, cinematographers will rig up their camera with follow-focus gears or need to precisely balance their camera and lens on tripod heads, gimbals and other support rigs. For still photographers, this is a less critical design feature, but for video shooters, this can be a handy benefit. Much like the earlier 50mm and 85mm f/1.8 primes, the Lumix S 24mm f/1.8 lens is deliberately designed to share a similar size, shape and weight to these other f/1.8 primes. This is particularly useful in video applications, such as with gimbals, where camera balance is an important operability factor. With the addition of a rather fast f/1.8 aperture, the lens is also well-suited for nighttime photography as well as other low-light situations - the combination of a wide-angle perspective and good low-light performance make this a good choice for shooting indoors and other cramped locations.Īlong with the forthcoming 35mm f/1.8 lens, this family of f/1.8 primes all purposefully share a similar size, weight and overall handling characteristics, making it simpler to exchange lenses quickly and easily without requiring much, if any, camera rig adjustments, such as to balance. The new 24mm f/1.8 S lens offers a versatile focal length, one that's a popular choice for landscape photography. Today, the 24mm flavor makes its debut, and much like the 50mm f/1.8 S and previous 85mm f/1.8 S lenses before it, the new Lumix 24mm f/1.8 S lens is surprisingly compact and lightweight for a fast, full-frame-format wide-angle prime. Alongside this lens, they mentioned two more f/1.8 primes were in the works, a 24mm and a 35mm.
