Product Overview

Panasonic Lumix S 18mm F1.8 is an ultra wide-angle prime lens for Leica L-mount. It covers the full-frame image circle. Introduced by Panasonic in 2022, it has 13 elements in 12 groups.
The bright maximum aperture for an ultra wide-angle lens is appreciated for night and astro photography. Even though the lens is not stabilized, at this focal range it does not usually matter. In fact, some may be able to get cleaner corners without image stabilization.
Compared to Sigma's new 20mm DG DN Art, however, the Lumix S 18mm F1.8 is down 2/3 of a stop but hardly more compact. The Sigma also has slightly higher build quality and richer feature set.
