Creative tool for Micro Four Thirds users
The Panasonic Lumix G Fisheye 8mm f/3.5 lens is built for Micro Four Thirds cameras. It suits photographers and videographers who want a 180-degree diagonal angle of view for distinctive perspective and deformation effects. The 8 mm focal length and f/3.5 maximum aperture support creative work from television to web video.
Compact build with inner focus
Ten elements in nine groups keep the lens small and light at 0.28 weight units. An Extra-low Dispersion element helps maintain consistent performance across the focus range. The inner focus system allows a minimum focusing distance of .1 m without extending the barrel, while seven rounded aperture blades produce smooth out-of-focus areas at larger apertures.
Fixed focal length and aperture limits
The 8 mm focal length is fixed, so framing changes require moving the camera. Aperture stops down to f/16 for depth-of-field control. Autofocus works on compatible Micro Four Thirds bodies, but the lens lacks zoom and has no wider maximum aperture than f/3.5. Buyers needing variable focal lengths or faster low-light performance should consider other optics.
