Panasonic Lumix S 40mm f/2

A large-aperture fixed focal length lens with a natural 40mm angle of view and the expressive look of F2. Compact and lightweight while delivering exceptional LUMIX S Series image quality, it is designed for both photos and video, from street photographs to twilight and low-light interiors.

Make everyday scenes your own
Where a zoom lens adapts the angle of view to the moment, a fixed focal length lens allows you to move, shaping the frame for yourself. It is a deeper, more rewarding way to enjoy creative expression. With a natural 40mm view, a large F2 aperture, and beautiful bokeh, this lens brings the scene in front of you to life. Compact and lightweight, it is easy to keep mounted and slip into your bag, ready for everything from everyday moments to inspiring travel scenery.

Natural 40mm view, large F2 aperture
A 40mm focal length delivers a perspective close to that of the human eye, making it easy to frame scenes with a familiar angle of view. With a large F2 aperture, you can highlight your subject with soft background bokeh and shoot at faster shutter speeds without raising ISO, even at twilight or in low-light interiors. From street photographs and landscapes to portraits, this lens performs across a wide range of scenes. It captures not only the subject, but also the atmosphere within the frame, turning everyday moments into expressive images.

Beautiful bokeh and rich creative expression
Experience the impressive bokeh and rich creative expression unique to a fixed focal length lens. Create portraits and familiar scenes with soft background bokeh, or capture night scenes that render the sparkle of streetlights beautifully. One lens, many styles. With the closest focusing distance of 30cm, it is suitable for tabletop photography, from small objects and food to seasonal flowers, making it a versatile choice for everyday shooting.

Easy-to-carry full-frame system

Compact, lightweight design
Measuring just approx. 40.9mm and weighing approx. 144g, this lens is sized to match the DC-S9, compact enough to stay mounted and go straight into your bag. Its profile aligns with that of the collapsed S-R1840 zoom lens, and the 62mm filter size stays consistent across both. Choose the zoom when you want flexible framing, and switch to a fixed focal length lens when you want more intentional creative control. Together, they create an agile full-frame system that expands your freedom to shoot.

Dust, splash and freeze-resistant design
Because this is a lens you will want to carry with you every day, it is designed to keep shooting in unpredictable environments. Its dust- and splash-resistant construction helps you capture fleeting moments, while allowing you to shoot in temperatures as low as -10°C. The fluorine coating applied to the front lens makes it easy to remove oil-based dirt that sticks to it.
